#Newest tomb raider movie movie#
If we go with the latest leaks and rumors, Tomb Raider 2 has been phrased as “slowly working towards making its way to theaters.” However, Tomb Raider 2 movie was officially confirmed by Warner Bros and MGM back in 2019 itself. An MGM/Warner Brothers release.Tomb Raider 2: When will be the Release Date? MPAA Rating: PG-13 for sequences of violence and action, and for some languageĬast: Alicia Vikander, Walton Goggins, Daniel Wu, Dominic West, Kristin Scott Thomas, Derek JacobiĬredits:Directed by Roar Uthaug script by Geneva Robertson-Dworet , Alastair Siddons. But when your set pieces fail to surprise, your dialogue fails to deliver even one decent one-liner and your villain looks like he’s dealing with dysentery on location, maybe 17-18 years isn’t long enough between reboots.
Not that the original film is any better or anybody’s idea of a classic, or even passable entertainment. The rest? I’d credit the director whose first name seems like a promise he’s ill-equipped to keep, Roar Uthaug. The movie’s dull, and at least a little of that falls on Vikander. Jolie let her vamp flag fly, and that’s sorely missed. But even at that she seems a tad too serious to want to hang with. Vikander is more the coquette here than any English language film has ever let her be. The quest just sort of shuffles along, a gunfight here, a crawl across a ladder there. There’s no urgency to the plot, even though Dad warned of world-ending consequences to the discovery of this tomb. Not the hardest thing to fake these days.Īside from the presence of Nick Frost (as a chatty pawn broker), it’s a humorless affair. A shipwreck almost impresses, until you remember the execrable “Hurricane Heist” managed one of those. Vikander is game, and hurls herself over digital gorges, through digital gauntlets and into digital raging rivers. The chases and fights are ho hum with a capital H. And that’s where he learns she was quite the kickboxer, and before that, an archer for the ages. That’s where Lara runs up against Mathias Vogel (Goggins) and his minions. He will help her find her way through The Devil’s Sea to the island where an ancient Japanese sorceress was buried. He may well but, Dad’s “first letter from my final destination” (post mortem) gives her fun clues to work out that tell her what he was up to.Īnd that sends her to Hong Kong in search of Lu Ren, every Hollywood action movie’s Compulsory Chinese Content. Her guardian ( Kristin Scott Thomas) wants her to take over the family multi-national, but that would mean admitting that Lord, billionaire and avid Indie-imitator father Richard ( Dominic West) is dead.
Lara is a London pizza delivery heiress in the new film, a kickboxer who never knows when to quit, a bike racer who treats the mean streets as her BMX course. He has a few scenes with a sat-phone, as if to head off charges that he “phones it in.” It’s a half-hearted turn at best, and pales next to his murderously mincing menace in TV’s “Vice Principals.” Now THERE was a bad guy. Here, it’s Walton Goggins as the pistol-packing predator running a tomb-search on a remote Japanese island. That film was more stunts/somewhat less digital, though both “Tomb Raiders” are a bit let down by their villains. And present comparisons when the new film comes out. Maybe that’s because SyFy has been airing the 2001 film repeatedly these past few weeks to gin up interest in the re-boot/remake. If it seems only yesterday that Oscar winner Angelina Jolie was playing the “Let’s get PAID” role in a T & A & L (especially “L”) take on the tank-topped terror. She makes for a more serious Lara Croft in a duller, less supernatural and somewhat less fun version of the video game heroine based on Indiana Jones. She can barely reach the villains she’s spin-kicking left and right, much less deliver the throw-weight to make a punch look like more than a slap. Yes, the Oscar winner is a Swedish slip of a thing, and having her stand next to - well, any of her co-stars save Walton Goggins - makes it clear that all that kick-boxing and wrestling we see her do to set up her mad skillz in the physical realm will convince nobody. Alicia Vikander makes us feel Lara Croft’s pain, with every grunt, whimper, yelp and gasp of exertion she makes as the “Tomb Raider.”
