       Tomb Raider was a movie I had high hopes for in large part
       because of the current Reboot of the game series. I really
       thought THIS would be the movie that finally got it right when
       it came to video game to movie translation. Sadly this continues
       the tradition of underwhelming performances. Granted, Tomb
       Raider isn't bad. It's just a decent flick for what it is. My
       issue is that I thought this was going to be a literally
       translation from the Reboot Game (it's not). It takes some
       things from Tomb Raider and Rise of the Tomb Raider and then
       just makes up a completely different narrative. They get the
       tone and look right, but not much else. I think the biggest
       problem is how little respect the writer and director showed to
       what Tomb Raider is all about: Solving Tomb Puzzles!
       Furthermore, they took way to long getting there. Even worse is
       that once we get there, it's just a couple of Puzzle solving
       scenes and then that's it. This is what is at the core of the
       game and it should have been what drove the final hour of the
       movie. As the movie wore down, I kept saying to myself, "there
       is no way a sequel is getting green-lit in spite of all the
       seeds they are laying down regarding Trinity". If they move
       forward, they need to bring in a different team that actually
       uses the game as it's blueprint. Not just "inspired by". As for
       Alicia Vikander, I actually like her as Lara Croft. I just
       wished they took the script more seriously to give her something
       to work with. Worth a Rent on a rainy day. Nothing more.

       I was not expecting this to actually ever happen.
