General / Off-Topic [Potential Spoilers] Tomb Raider (2018 Movie)

So, I just got done watching Tomb Raider.

It is basically a copy of the 2013 game. But a cut down version of it, with a few changes.

Seemed good to start with, typical character building, scene setting, etc, good story, background, etc

Until the end.
Basically only about 5% of the movie takes place in a tomb, and it's not particularly 'tomby'.

And annoyingly [for me, anyway],
there was no supernatural element to the movie!
That's what Tomb Raider is about! Gahh!

I watched the whole thing expecting some supernatural boss fight at the end.
But nothing. Meh.

It's like they got to the end, then couldn't be bothered to finish it.. lol

Hollywood fails again.

If you ignore the title of the movie, and pretend it's just a random action adventure movie, it's fine. But it's not Tomb Raider...

Still worth a watch anyway!

Eh, That's no different from the other TR movies.

I enjoyed it. It had a female Indy Jones vibe(minus the supernatural). Shame it didn't do well.
 
Movie adaptation and be a challenge

Yeah I got the same impression, not a TR movie, it was ok but not a real TR movie to me.
