It's been 15 years since the last time Lara Croft got a movie adaptation, so it's about high time for a reboot according to Hollywood studio executives. After all, we got a Hitman reboot just eight years after the first time they tried to turn that video game into a movie, so MGM/Warner Bros/GK Films have been practically dragging their feet at getting this character back onto the silver screen. Alicia Vikander is now playing the role once inhabited by Angelina Jolie and the resulting quality of this new film, called
Tomb Raider, is noticeably better than the original
Lara Croft: Tomb Raider film from 2001, though that's probably the highest piece of praise I can offer it.
