She's back...
Hey kids, remember Tomb Raider 2018?Though the cinematic reboot of Lara Croft got some things right - it looked alright, the story took inspiration from the recent run of video games, and Alicia Vikander proved strong casting - it ultimately failed to escape the dreaded video game adaptation curse.
"Video games almost entirely consist of a player controlling a single character through various locations. "Often they'll be shooting bad-guys, sometimes they'll cross paths with someone else who they'll have an in-game conversation with, but 99% of the time, it is a single person, heading in a singular direction, by themselves.
"For the majority of the new Tomb Raider movie, just like the last two Tomb Raider movies, just like every other movie based on a video game, the lead character is lumbered with supporting characters, as the writer or producer or director fears that an audience cannot cope with the idea that a character being alone for any amount of time."Will the lessons be learned for round two? We're going to find out.
