In both the 2013 game and the 2018 movie, Lara is younger and less experienced than ever before. Unlike the Jolie films, which took Lara and created original cinematic adventures for her, the new Tomb Raider is a direct adaptation of the 2013 reboot. The Angelina Jolie Tomb Raider movies were based on the original continuity started by the 1996 game, but made changes to the Lara Croft character - some of which were carried over to the 2006 video game reboot.

In some ways, Alicia Vikander's Lara Croft movie is extremely similar to the games (especially the 2013 game upon which it's primarily based), but it also makes some significant changes. With a history going back over twenty years and stretching across three distinct continuities (four if one includes the Angelina Jolie movies), there's a lot of mythology to unpack, and a lot of plot points for the new movie to choose to implement or ignore. The new film is based on that version of Lara Croft, and is also a reboot of the film series, discarding the previous Angelina Jolie films.

The Legend series got off to a strong start, but ultimately sputtered out with 2008's obviously-rushed Underworld, the failure of which led to a second reboot in 2013, simply titled Tomb Raider. It's perhaps odd, then, that for such an important video game icon, she's been rebooted - not once, but twice!Īfter making waves with her 1996 debut, the adventures of Lara Croft continued until 2003's lackluster Angel of Darkness, which paved the way for the first reboot, 2006's Tomb Raider: Legend. Aside from Indiana Jones, Lara is easily one of the most iconic fictional explorers in all of pop culture. Did I mention the baddy is a young Mormont from ‘Game of Thrones’? It’s not life-changing, it is what it is.The new Tomb Raider is an incredibly faithful video game adaptation, although it does have one major change to the Lara Croft of the source that completely changes her character. There are some small giggle moments, but mostly you’re lost in this adventure, two teams racing against each other. I don’t believe there’s much wrong with it, other than some bad fake accents… It’s a fun, action-filled film.

I enjoyed this film, it’s a good escapism film. I mean they weren’t amazing, but they definitely weren’t terrible and didn’t take anything away from the film in a distracting way! The action scenes are fun and enjoyable, who doesn’t love a good action scene from a well-known action star? And Angelina Jolie is definitely one! The scenes were good to get lost in and escape from real-life for a while. For a film that came out in the early 2000s, the graphics were not as bad as I thought they would be (since we’ve got used to the brilliant graphics now).

‘Tomb Raider’ is full of action and explosive scenes.

Didn’t really understand why he had to be American, if that’s what the accent was supposed to be? Angelina Jolie being British was so much better than Daniel Craig’s accent. But that was because Daniel Craig came in, looking all a bit too rough, and with some sort of American accent! Whhhyyyy? This accent was not great… it was baaad. What is with the accents in this film? Ok, so Angelina Jolie pretends to be British, which I wasn’t a huge fan of her accent, but I soon got over it and after the initial ‘ugh why’, I didn’t even notice it anymore. So overall, this is a ‘save the world’ kind of film, since the clock to get the first half of the triangle has fallen into the wrong hands. When this happens, the two halves of the triangle can be united to control time. The plot: every 5,000 years the planets align. The story does play on the fantasy/sci-fi genre, just a pre-warning, as it is not a full-on believable action film (if there are any?). The baddass archaeologist, who just wants to fulfil her father’s wishes after he died.
