By the looks of it, it's very true to the video game reboot, which was awesome. And Alicia Vikander looks great as Lara Croft. Looking forward to this one.
I loved the ps1 games but thats as far as i got with them, i have not seen the two other movies and i dont plan to anytime soon. The reboot games look amazing and im looking to get them and this movie looks like it might be worth a watch.
Finally saw this today. Almost like watching the terrific REBOOT video game on the big screen. Alicia Vikander was spectacular as Lara Croft. This IS the REBOOT fans have been CLAMORING FOR! Glad it's doing really well overseas so hopefully we will see SEQUELS!
EVERY movie should be REMADE and REBOOTED every few years!
Daniel Wu has saved this movie from dying a fast death. He's likely one of the big reasons this did so well in China, one of Warner Bros' biggest debuts there, infact. Expect him to return with a meatier role in the sequel, which there will be, as it's recouped what it cost and then some. They can get a lot of mileage out of this [possible] franchise with the overseas/China appeal. Look at the Resident Evil franchise, their numbers in China are the only reason they ever made it to the sixth installment.
I saw it last night, while it was fresh and a good take on the 2013 video game which was easily the best in the series I must say it had a lot of cliche points in the movie where it was pointless drivel.
I enjoyed Alicia she pulled off Lara very well.
Spoiler: It pisses me off when they use the trope of "your dad's not really dead and then 20 minutes later he's dead". That's just lazy writing to try and build emotion.
I have some problems with this that make my brain bleed, but overall a very fun, respectful, TIGHT take on the reboot game(s). Very little fat to be trimmed off after the origin story. Very professional and Alicia was great.

I can't believe studios are still banking on VG adaptations.
It was the cow...
Guess I can't complain.
23m is decent enough if it has legs. In the end with home video etc it'll make a profit.
