Personally I found it okay, but not very engaging. Maybe the sequel will be much better.

saw it on video. I agree that it was kinda generic... but I did like the two leads. they've got a solid foundation started... and I think if they get a stronger script, get a more experienced action director involved, it could really go places.
I honestly don't know enough about Ben Wheatley and Amy Jump to have an opinion yet. If it gets halfway decent reviews I'd probably watch it as a matinee.
Thought it was better then the original. May not have been the strongest story, but Alicia Vikander was very well cast and I'm glad to hear that she'll be back and have a chance to pick up the incomplete story and play Lara in her zone after showing us the origin story. Never played the new games, but I hope the Sam character from them gets put in the sequel; giving Lara a friend seems like a good idea.

She needs a better antagonist, whoever was the villain in the first one was forgettable, I need to go look up who was the villain now, lol. I did watch the whole film, but I've forgotten the villain.
I've played the first two games in the reboot and those baddies I remember better - though games do last for a lot longer, so the villains should be easier to remember.
Part of the problem I think is that they seriously toned down the adaptation of the game reboot (including removing the supernatural element), and also meshed the Solarri and Trinity together (and turned Mathias from basically Mola Ram to a homesick agent). The first reboot game in particular is pretty much a horror game.
Wonder if this'll adapt RISE and have Anna be the antagonist with the Siberian setting.

Sam is equally important in the first game I guess. But Jonah is the only person in all 3 and hes Laura's ride or die Polyneisan bestie. Constantly sacrificing himself for her(Yet somehow always survivng). I cam see maybe someone say Sam is equally important but Jonah goes on to be in two more games and is the heart of them. Laura can get kinda cold and detached and Jonah is there to keep her grounded.
Well, either way, that point would be the reason I'd think that Lara should have a friend involved on the story, whether they bring back the ship captain from the first one or adapt Sam or Jonah into the sequel. Guess a female friend would seem welcome, given how uncommon female friendships are depicted onscreen.

Yea well if they do go with Jonah they already got the perfect guy Jerry from the Walking dead and hes also the Foster dad in Shazam. Hes perfect. But yea none of them are in the first movie so doesnt matter they are going off book anyway. Have Sam just play the Jonah role. Someone she didnt know but forms this deep bond with after surviving some hellish adventure.
Sam I think is important in the Dark Horse comics which bridge the games, she kind of has a bit of Himiko still in her, but then Lara and Sam break off the friendship to protect her from trinity.
