After hearing such mixed reviews, I went in with low expectations but was pleasantly surprised. I thought this reboot really did the original justice, bringing a self-awareness to the conceit that the franchise has always had.
Mark Hamill was great, Aubrey Plaza makes a pretty convincing mom, and Chucky's got jokes. What more did you really want?

I was skeptical about the reboot of this show as a drama, but I gave it a chance and I'm glad it did. It's well done and Jabari Banks shines as Will. The entire cast is great and before I knew it I had watched all of the current available episodes. The story is great and it left me wanting to know more. Overall, really well done.

Brass tacks, if you enjoyed the reboot Tomb Raider games, you'll like this film. If you dislike them, you probably won't like the film. If you haven't played them? *shrugs* I'm not sure, because I'm a big fan of the reboot games.
Admittedly, the movie plods a bit in the second act, and the third act wasn't as big of a set piece as I would have liked, but all in all, I enjoyed it. Tomb Raider didn't exceed my expectations, but it also didn't disappoint me. It's a perfectly acceptable way to spend two hours, and if Lynn wants to catch it I'll go back for a second viewing.
Reviewing average films is difficult, because there's not much to say. That's the where I am now. 6/10, with the recommendation that the film will be much better in a theater than at home.

Who ya gonna reboot?
Ghostbusters afterlife was announced with original director Jason reitman returning sending fans into a frenzy after the lackluster 2016 "reboot" ghostbusters: answer the call left viewers with a bad taste in their mouth and an empty ghost trap.
It's been 32 years since the apocalyptic events of the first movie and the original ghostbusters are all but completely forgotten.
After the death of egon, his estranged daughter and her children move into his home and try to settle in before pieces of the past start to uncover and an old threat is unleashed... So someone makes a call.
Fantastic visual effects, original soundtrack, a huge dose of nostalgia and a beautiful emotional scene that packs a punch that really kick things into gear.
This is a truly worthy sequel not to be missed and features cameos from the original cast.

Against All Odds
The original Tomb Raider was one of the main inspiration behind the Uncharted series and now the rebooted Tomb Raider series is taking influence from Uncharted. This is a great reboot and really takes you on a treacherous trail of survival. The set pieces are great, the voice actors are well used and the desperate tone of the game is felt throughout.
Erika (17788 KP) rated Batgirl, Vol. 1: The Darkest Reflection in Books

I'm a huge fan (maybe one of the only) of the new 52 DC reboot. Barbara Gorden is the main reason. Babs has her legs again! She's no longer Oracle, and she's Batgirl again. Batgirl was my first favorite superhero, after watching the 1960s Batman show. She was a librarian, and she had the cool motorcycle.
Gail Simone script is excellent in this volume, and I quickly demolished her Batgirl arc.

Remains one of my favorite movies in any genre.
No, I didn't watch the ridiculous TV reboot or the short-lived Broadway show, nor will I. The original holds up just fine with its commentary on society and political correctness. Christian Slater does some of his best work, and Winona Ryder can do no wrong. Plus, baby Shannen Doherty! (she's just 17 here!)
An absolute classic in my book.

I was a huge fan of the original and Jean-claude Van Damme, the original is an classic martial arts film. The reboot will never be as good as the original but I can say its not bad. Its awesome to see that Van Damme was able to return as the mentor and pass the torch on, his performance was the best out of the whole cast. Bautista playing the villain Tong Po was fierced and brilliant. The fight scenes were crafted exceptional and some were intense and exciting. The story in my opinion was a tad bit jumpy and drug out compared to the original but I did like how they twisted it and tried to make it more original. This movie might not be the best ever reboot, low budget but it was entertaining and Van Damme was brilliant. Hopefully the sequel will be even better.

The very best
The reboot of the reboot of our web slinger, this time around making Peter Parker with an actor who appears high school aged and not thirty something. It starts off without the origin which was a weird surprise but I think they believed the audience is well aware of how spidey got his powers so why not save some space and skip ahead to where he is experimenting being a superhero. Michael Keaton is cast as the Falcon but he is able to channel his badass side and make this character more than just a glider suite. The relationship between Tony Stark and Peter is cute and again the best part of this is Tom Hollands performance and youthfulness.

I like to thank smash bomb for my prize first. As this is the second time ive reviewed the movie since it came out at the cimema. This time the blu ray version as is my first blu ray review ive given the film a higher rating thats for the extras i like the film it reminds me of the 2013 reboot game which i got to play on the ps3. Alica vikander plays lara croft before she became tomb radier we know. The supporting cast including walter goggins and domic west give good support. Hope they make sequel some day. Anyway to the extras all the extras are on the short but thats okay my favorite extra is the history of the games which takes u thru the history from the game to the 2013 reboot. The only thing missing is a commentry shame but worth a rewatch again on blu ray
