Tomb Raider : Rebranding

Everyone knows the iconic Tomb Raider,  staring Angelina Jolie.  This year it was rebranded with Alicia Vikander as the main role.The film begins with a story of ancient soccery from a book belonging to Lara Croft's father. As usually Tomb Raider's dominant main role is Female character. This time director is also a female. "Tomb Raider" surprisingly plays like a throwback to the classic late-'80s/early '90s era of action filmmaking, represented by the likes of "Cliffhanger," "The Last of the Mohicans," the first couple of Indiana Jones films, and Jackie Chan's "Armour of God" series. From the animated prologue, wherein the title character's archeologist father, Lord Richard Croft (Dominic West), tells of an ancient, cursed tomb supposedly containing the all-powerful, weaponizable remains of the Japanese shaman queen Himiko, through its gracefully executed series of chases and emotional moments, to its finale set on a Pacific island riddled with booby-trapped ruins, "Tomb Raider" is much better and more original than anyone could have expected.
