What to Know

Critics Consensus

Tomb Raider reboots the franchise with a more grounded approach and a star who's clearly more than up to the task -- neither of which are well served by an uninspired origin story.

Andrea Gronvall Chicago Reader Roar Uthaug (The Wave) directed; his work feels derivative of Steven Spielberg's first two Indiana Jones movies, though not half as entertaining. Mar 5, 2020 Full Review Robert Daniels 812filmreviews If you're coming to Tomb Raider, you're not coming for the common sense. You're coming for the action sequences. Luckily, Vikander kills in every segment she's in. Rated: 2.5/4 Aug 27, 2018 Full Review Michael Sragow Film Comment Magazine But there's little [Roar Uthaug] can do with Robertson-Dworet and Alastair Siddons's script (derived largely from the "third era" of the video game), which functions like a treasure map without resonance or mystery. Mar 29, 2018 Full Review David Gonzalez The Cinematic Reel Tomb Raider is a step in a the right direction for a genre desperately needing a turn-in critical performance. While nothing to boast about with 34 films in the genre thus far, the 50 percent rating on rotten tomatoes moves the needle up. Rated: 2.5/4 Jan 31, 2023 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies A fun and often times thrilling action-adventure with a strong, believable female protagonist . Rated: 4/5 Aug 27, 2022 Full Review Merryn Johns Curve The real pleasure of this Tomb Raider is Alicia Vikander’s distinctively living embodiment of Lara Croft. Part athlete, part sleuth, this Lara is all sinew and soulful drive. May 20, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Nick G. It's okay if you like the Tomb Raider franchise, but doesn't add much. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/13/21 Full Review Vince T The first 20 minutes of the movie is the main character not succeeding at anything. Lost interest after that. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/02/24 Full Review César S I had a good time watching it, but I am a really big fan of the games so if you are not into this universe this movie may not be for you. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/22/24 Full Review E. D The movie gives good vibes, I watched it many times, because it's motivating, empowering, and it shows how Lara would be, if she was a real person. The story is also more realistic than what we see in the TR video games. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/12/24 Full Review Jonathan O I see they trying to adapting the game version and being better than Angelina's Lara Croft but it doesn't feel right and the bad guys are terrible and the story doesn't make sense and the characters are not entertaining. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/10/24 Full Review nick s Quality production with fairly sharp special effects and accomplished acting. Just let down a bit with cheesy dialogue, especially in the meaningful moments, and the scenes/plot slipping into familiar action movie tropes. The tone also felt somewhat inconsistent, starting well grounded in reality and ending in a surreal arcade game. Overall I felt it was a good effort.
