While there have already been two mediocre productions developed for the Tomb Raider series starring Angelina Jolie, this reboot, now starring Alicia Vikander, closely follows the revamped video games’ storyline created in 2014.

While the majority of critics across the globe have been quite harsh with DC’s cinematic interpretations of their comic book–superhero films, this critic found them to be more enjoyable than not. … read more
