Alicia Vikander's Tomb Raider: A Mixed Revival
Alicia Vikander's portrayal of Lara Croft in the 2018 Tomb Raider adaptation has found new life on Netflix, but does it deserve it? While the film attempts to revive the franchise with a gritty take on the iconic character, it falters in key areas. - The action sequences can be thrilling, yet they often lack the depth found in the games. - Character development is superficial, leaving viewers wanting more emotional connection. - The plot follows a predictable formula that fails to surprise. Despite its flaws, Vikander's performance brings a certain charisma to the role. Ultimately, this film is a mixed bag that may appeal to die-hard fans but leaves casual viewers wanting.
