Tomb Raider Ratings & Reviews
- Richard6d agoThis reboot came in swinging with Alicia Vikander, a bow and a backpack full of daddy issues. Gone are the slow-mo dives and gravity defying stunts, this Lara bleeds, bruises and occasionally cries in the rain. It’s gritty, grounded and clearly trying to impress the “serious action cinema” crowd. The plot loosely follows the 2013 game reboot: Lara’s off to a cursed island to find her missing father, dodge cultists and unlock her inner badass. Vikander is committed, she climbs, fights and emotes like she’s auditioning for The Revenant: Jungle Edition. But the film itself? It’s a bit too beige. The action is competent, the pacing decent, but the spark? Missing. There’s no shark punching. No Daniel Craig in a towel. No flaming glyphs. Just a lot of mud, some daddy drama and a final act that feels like it was edited with a stopwatch. Jolie’s Lara is a comic book fever dream, equal parts Bond girl and PlayStation cutscene. Vikander’s is a survivalist with a heart and a bruised shoulder. Both have their place, but only one makes you want to rewatch with a cheeky grin and quote lines like “I woke up this morning and I just hated everything.”
- albe443October 26, 2025Never seen Lara croft in such a helpless state. They have actually destroyed her character and unnecessary sacrifices throughout the movie

- NukeLifeJuly 4, 2025K thought this movie was great. I didn't understand all the hate. I wanted the sequel.
- HakihikoFebruary 25, 2025A Solid and Enjoyable Adventure "Tomb Raider" delivers a grounded and action-packed take on the iconic video game franchise, offering a fresh and realistic approach to Lara Croft's origins. The film balances intense action sequences with a more character-driven narrative, making it feel less like a flashy blockbuster and more like a survival adventure. Alicia Vikander gives a strong performance as Lara, bringing a mix of vulnerability, determination, and physicality to the role. Unlike previous adaptations, this version of Croft is more humanized-she struggles, she gets hurt, and she learns from her failures, making her a more compelling protagonist. Vikander's commitment to the physically demanding role shines through, adding a sense of realism to the film's numerous action set pieces. The film does a great job with its action sequences, keeping them intense and engaging, especially during the jungle survival scenes and tomb exploration. However, while the first half does an excellent job of setting up Lara's journey, the second half falls into more generic territory, with a predictable villain and some rushed plot developments. The mystery element, which could have been more intriguing, ends up feeling somewhat underdeveloped. Despite its flaws, "Tomb Raider" is an entertaining and well-crafted action movie that respects its source material while delivering a fresh take on Lara Croft. It may not be groundbreaking, but it's a fun and well-acted adventure that sets a solid foundation for potential sequels.
