Då är den alltså äntligen här, norske regissören Roar Uthaugs kostsamma filmatisering av Crystal Dynamics mustiga re-boot av den ikoniska Lara Croft. Som vi alla vet är det svenska Oscars-vinnaren Alicia Vikander som spelar Lara och enligt flertalet källor har såväl hon som regissören Roar varit väldigt noga med att verkligen vara spelen trogna under själva inspelningen. I fredags var det biopremiär och även om vi här på redaktionen fortfarande inte hunnit släpa våra hängiga gubbarslen till närmaste biograf, har våra största filmblaskor naturligtvis redan delat ut betyg. Och såhär säger våra favorittidningar:
Los Angeles Times: (7/10)
"t's hardly the first or last time Hollywood has plundered one of its own long-dormant properties, but it's also a reminder that not every resurrection has to feel like a desecration."
Entertainment Weekly: (7/10)
"Uthaug manages to work in a few genuinely cool visual tricks, though the dialogue, from a serviceable script by Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Alastair Siddons is strictly standard; a mix of clunky action-movie exposition and winking Indiana Jones-style humor."
Variety: (7/10)
"Tomb Raider, let's be clear, is hokum: brisk but derivative, a compendium of jungle-chase pulp spun into something stylishly watchable. Yet when a movie like this one is made with a semblance of the human touch, and when it gives an actress as alive as Vikander a chance to carve out a true character instead of just inhabiting a series of stronger-than-life poses, you walk out feeling honestly entertained rather than jittery with overkill. It's something that shouldn't be so rare: escapism that breathes."
Gamesradar: (6/10)
"But despite integrity in spades, Tomb Raider never unearths gold. Muddy and messy they might be, but only one of the feel-the-sweat, hear-the-breath set-pieces sticks in the memory (Lara negotiating a rusted plane that bridges a waterfall, a scene lifted straight from the 2013 game), and even that is cursed by the memory of the altogether more suspenseful trailer-dangling-over-a-cliff scene in The Lost World: Jurassic Park. The story, meanwhile, is as dusty and cracked as an ancient treasure map, and for all the credibility craved by the filmmakers, they're not above allowing Lara to outrun a spray of bullets on several occasions."
Empire: (4/10)
"It's a different kind of Tomb Raider, certainly. But for an adventure film, it's disconcertingly dull."
Moviezine: (4/10)
"Ingen väntar sig nog en fartfylld söndagsmatiné à la "Indiana Jones", men det här är helt enkelt dödstråkigt att titta på. Både Alicia Vikander och Lara Croft förtjänar bättre."
