The Tomb Raider movie reboot was serviceable, but at the same time so immediately forgettable that we promptly forgot it had come out just last year (in our defence, it was a long year). Which is why it’s not only a surprise that a sequel is happening, but also that…
If the Tomb Raider movie wasn’t called “Tomb Raider”, it would be a better film. Because while it’s a perfectly enjoyable action flick, it isn’t one that lives up to the franchise, the character or its title.
