Tomb Raider Movie Review

Tomb raider is the example of a very sub par movie, it really just put my mind to sleep while I was watching. But at least it was entertaining and Angelina Jolie was pretty much the perfect role. This film is like a dumb truck of fan service.

The story is bland and it actually sets it self up clearly to be based off the game. Which one... I have no clue, and this movie drowned in boring action sequences and an extremely weak plot. It was more like I was being told what was going to happen then watching it unfold. You're introduced to a handful of characters.Yet, the only one that has any depth at all is Lara's father, and oh wait, hes dead.

For a British type Indian Jones character, Jolie does not portray a tuff, dive into action women, at all, but I constantly wonder if that's because of the script that's loaded with bullshit to the highest degree. Explanation after explanation after explanation, and none of it is even engageing. This is one movie that failed from the get go and should have been rewritten, crazy enough there is a sequel.

David's Score
2.0 out of 5.0
