1/22/2024 0 Comments Tomb raider film rotten tomatoesOur (arguably) lazy obsession with the Tomatometer, in terms of its actual function and the conventional wisdom that a 95% fresh means the movie is considered 9.5/10 by most critics (obviously not so, unless it's Paddington 2 which deserved its 13/10 average critic rating), ends up helping the kid-targeted video game-based animated sequel while hurting the R-rated, star-driven, female-led crime drama. ![]() Nor is it Sony's fault for knowing full-well that most folks would only look at the Tomatometer when deciding that, yes, Angry Birds Movie 2 was the best-reviewed video game movie of all time. This is not remotely the fault of Rotten Tomatoes, as they present all of the information users need to make informed decisions. We've seen this before, like in August of 2017 when Annabelle Creation entered theaters with an (at the time) 71% fresh while The Glass Castle opened concurrently with a 43% rotten score despite both films earning identical 6.10/10 average critic scores. If one were only to glance at the Tomatometer, they'd get the impression that Angry Birds Movies 2 was a very good animated comedy while The Kitchen was a basement-level awful mob drama. That's essentially a ten-point difference in average critic ratings but a 52-point difference in "fresh/rotten" ratings. ![]() However, its average critic rating is currently at 4.54/10, meaning on average critics rated the film essentially at 45.5% while rating Angry Birds 2 at 55.5%. Additionally, many people don’t want to let go of Angelina Jolie as Croft and believe that she did a better job than Vikander.Andrea Berloff's adult-skewing drama (which I'm seeing earlier this afternoon) was pronounced dead on arrival when it opened with a 21% "fresh" score. Most critics think that this was a successful reboot of the older movies, but that Croft does not come off as intelligent in the movie as she does in past movies and in the video games. Tomb Raider has a fresh score of 50% on Rotten Tomatoes. She had to perform a variety of stunts, from parachuting through a forest canopy to clinging onto the wing of a crashed bomber while perched on the edge of a waterfall. From her physical fitness to her mental strength, Croft was a true warrior. I enjoyed how well Vikander portrayed Lara Croft and how the story has a strong female lead role. For example, when Croft refuses to sign the papers to sign over her father’s company, the audience can predict that her father is not actually dead. I was able to guess many major points of the plot just based on typical action movies or from earlier clues in the story. I found Tomb Raider to be predictable at some parts. ![]() Croft knows how to find and open the grave because of her father’s notes, and is left with the choice of telling the others how to find Himiko or keeping that information to herself. On the island, Croft is greeted by a rival archeologist of her father’s and a group of prisoners who are being forced to work in an excavation project to find Himiko’s grave. Croft ventures to Hong Kong and finds the son of a man that worked with her father to take her to the secret island. Supposedly, this island is the final resting place of an ancient Japanese queen, Himiko, who could unleash terrors that would leave the world in a terrible condition if disturbed. In the movie, Croft’s father has disappeared and is believed to have died, until Croft finds a box full of his puzzles, maps and clues, leading to a barely reachable island in the Devil’s Sea. Vikander played the role of Croft well and won the audience over with her bravery and strength. In the new version Croft was played by Alicia Vikander, a Swedish actress. Two Tomb Raider movies were made in the early 2000s and Lara Croft, the main character, was played by Angelina Jolie. ![]() Tomb Raider, originally based off of a video game, came to theaters in mid-March.
