The evolution of Nick Frost
“There were two reasons as to why I watched this movie: the 2013 reboot game, which I played back when I had a PS3, and Alicia Vikander, who has shaped up to be one of my favorite actresses of this last decade. Honestly, I wasn't expecting much from a movie adaptation of a video game, because that is a very ambitious undertaking and movies based on video games have a bad reputation among moviegoers and gamers alike. Since there is too much material to be adapted from the game, it's obvious the movie is gonna cut off some elements to fit a 2-hour runtime.
Spoiler alert!
The premise is that Lara's father has disappeared since she was a child, leaving Lara to grow up resentful of him and trying to live outside the legacy and fortune he left for her. Upon receiving a message” read more

“I wasn't really expecting much from this flick but since I have a weak spot for Alicia Vikander and since Nick, my step-son, was really eager to check it out, we still went to see this movie when it was released. Well, to be honest, even though the previous installments starring Angelina Jolie have a rather lame reputation, at least, they were quite fun and while this movie took a (slightly) more realistic approach, it was only a minor improvement in my opinion. I mean, I don't blame Vikander who did what she could with the material and she was as usual quite convincing in a physically demanding role (apparently, she trained her ass off for this movie). Eventually, the biggest problem was the story itself. Indeed, it was really generic and, on top of that, they made a couple of mistakes.” read more
Movies Viewed in 2018 (361 movies items)"A reboot of the popular computer game with Oscar-winner Alicia Vikander as Lara Croft, a fiercely independent woman who goes hunting for the truth about her father's disappearance only to find more than she bargained for. While Vikander does a valiant effort, this is a fairly mundane affair that has that been there done that attitude, borrowing heavily from Indiana Jones and Rambo. The action sequences are too frantic to really appreciate and the rest of movie is a bit bland."

Seen in 2018 (388 movies items)"Entertaining action movie with good acting and that annoying editing style of modern action movies with so many cuts that it's hard to tell what's going on. The movie borrows things and moments from the reboot game but overall the film is it's own thing."
