The original 20 movies based on the Tomb Raider games, starring Angelina Jolie as shorts-and-push-up-top wearing adventuress Lara Croft, were silly rather than exciting, but would a reboot more than a decade later be any better?ДЇollowing on from updates to the classic game itself, such as giving Lara (Vikander) something more substantial to run around in than just hot pants, the movie follows suit and ditches the gratuitous cleavage and legs in favour of a sensible pair of cargo trousers and a vest that gets as grubby as Bruce WillisвЂ™s in Die Hard as our heroine dashes across an uncharted island.ДЄfter some back story that sets Lara up as a rather pouty twenty-something who would rather scrape money together as a bike courier than declare her missing father (West) dead and claim her inheritance, the movie swiftly shifts into adventure gear, too, as Lara discovers that all those business trips her dad took were actually a cover for his own expeditions into the unknown. From Super Mario Bros to Warcraft, movie adaptations of video games have been notoriously tricky to pull off.
