Fun action movie.
*I won a copy of this Blu-ray in a @Smashbomb giveaway!*

Let me preface this by saying that I think Dwayne Johnson is hilarious when he wants to be, while simultaneously being a great action "hero." Both are on display in this movie. His banter with George is so funny. The action is what it is, and it was done pretty well.

I know this was loosely based on the video game, which I fondly remember playing at the arcade, but I didn't see all that many parallels.

Overall not a bad way to spend a couple of hours!

Not quite a treasure
I wasn't a big fan of the original films, slightly preferred the 2nd film. This is quite a good reboot film as Lara starts her journey as a Tomb Raider. It has some good action scenes and some puzzle scenes, not that many the viewer could try to solve though.
The main down side is it felt a bit like too many other films. Part Indiana Jones and the last crusade, National Treasure to name a couple of films with a similar plot. Overall it's an enjoyable action film and a good footing for the next film.

Bloody good
You have to have an open mind for this type of film. The first was a classic and the series along with Avp has gone down hill mainly since. Although @Predators (2010) was OK.
This has a vibe more in keeping with the original. Gory kills, the humour and camaraderie of the soldiers. Along with the finale. The action overall is pretty good. The only downside is the rather silly storyline at times and the Predator dog. A film to enjoy rather than take too seriously.

This generations Bruce Willis.
Crazy, far fetched, rediculous over the top - I loved it...

Don't evpect anything other than a thrill a minute action ride and you won't be disappointed... Yes it's so far fetched it's rediculous but is that a bad thing....

The "former" Rock cements himself as a genuine action hero in this film that 20 ish years ago you could easily have seen Bruce Willis in...

I probably laughed a bit more at the sight of Johnson hanging upside down from a prosthetic leg and the following sequences than I should have but it is all silly fun...

Great storyline

A good action movie, no stupid unrealistic car chasing's and unrelatable cold and empty heroes.

 Noomi Rapace as always gave an outstanding performance that definitely lifts the movie a lot.

I liked the fact that the leading character is not the normal detached strong man who has no feelings and can’t wait to get the job over but this isn’t the case. Noomi is not necessary stronger than the bad guys, but she is quicker, more skillful and smarter.

Easy watching film, that has smart action that doesn't let you get bored, but not too much action to get tired of it.

Would recommend watching
