Movies: Tomb Raider (2018)

[Cloned]

Huh.

She looks better in Tulip Fever though.

So they smashed together the plots of the two games (the 2013 reboot and Rise of the Tomb Raider) to make a mishmash of a script?

Meh. Stay away from Video Game movies already.

 

[ThePhoenixx]

Saw her last night on late night.

She weighs maybe 98 pounds. Suppose she is going to be beating up lots of muscle bound people.

She is smoking hot though with amazing long legs. Kind of Laura Croftish.

 

[Spawn]

Trailer looks terrible unfortunately. Too bad.

 

[HanSolo]

Is she still with Fassbender? That might be an amusing couple's fail to get video games to be at least competent.

 

[Blender]

Trailer looks mediocre, not particularly good or bad. Alicia Vikander is really thin so it won't look that believable if they have her overpowering people in hand to hand combat though, so hopefully it's more of a skill/speed/stealth type approach.

Also, did they stumble onto the set of Into the Badlands with both Daniel Wu and Nick Frost in the movie?

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Vikander seems really ill suited for this role IMO.

Well, there has been a 5'3 scientologist beating up bad guys and looking like world class sprinter, so I dont get too worked up about it.

Anyways, the movie looks pretty bland and forgettable. Doesn't look horrible but nothing special.

It is apparently pretty faithful to the new video game series so theres that.

 

[SeidoN]

call me crazy but I think it looks kinda fun. pure 90 minute escapism

 

[Takeo]

I thought they already made this movie?

this is the all-female reboot

 

[Blitzkrug]

The annoying thing about this to me is the games this is based on actually has a pretty good story arc.

Probably one of the better instances of character development i've seen in a while games wise. Of course they're going to ruin this by turning Lara into a emotionless robot who kills for the sake of killing.

 

[Little Psycho]

When have video game adaptions done well? Last one was Assassins Creed and that was such a flop.

Great actress, very pretty woman but I'm just not feeling it. I'll watch it since I've been a TR fan forever but I have no expectations.

That trailer says almost nothing about the story or character development, so hard to judge.

Mortal Kombat did great.

 

[Little Psycho]

Mortal Kombat did great.

It did? Haven't seen it. I'll add it onto my list of films I need to watch.

 

[Little Psycho]

Well it looks like they are following the reboot game, don't know how close to the script they will stay on.

Not quite. While i'm not 100% sure, the trailer did tell me a couple things because i played the games;

- Trinity is the main villain in this movie. They don't show up until the second game in the rebooted series.

- Lara looks like she's exploring some island. While not the exact, she's likely heading to a place based on where the first game takes place (Yamatai)

- The fact it shows her running around killing a couple people in the trailer with a coldness about her. Misses the whole point of her character likely (and ten bucks says they leave out the scene where Lara is tied up and about to be taken advantage of, which is why she kills anyone in the first place)

 

[NewtJorden]

I like the trailer. I'm glad they got a really good actress to play the role (and no, i dont like Angelina Jolie).

 

[Warden of the North]

Doesnt look terribly exciting.

I liked Jolie fine as Lara Croft, although I suppose the character image has changed a bit in recent years.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

With dozens of British actresses that land American roles, this one popular British character is the one none of them can grab?

I think that her casting had everything to do with her just having won an Academy Award. That gave her credibility that the filmmakers no doubt hope rubs off on the film, itself, so that it's taken more seriously than the older Tomb Raider films, and also made her one of the current "it" girls in Hollywood. I think that they jumped at the chance to cast someone who they could market the film around, even if she's maybe not the best fit for the character.

That's exactly the case when you consider they were also looking at Daisy Ridley for the role.

 

[Raging Bull]

This is a fine popcorn Indiana Jones esque movie that likely nobody will go see and won't make any money. Really feels like the reboot video game series, Vikander really did a good job with the role.

 

[Lost Horizons]

Saw it last night. It was pretty good. Lots of nods to the game. I hope they make another one.
