    Well, the original apparently still has that so-bad-it's-good appeal to it. Everything about this sounds like it's just a massive slog

    I saw this tonight and really enjoyed it. Extremely faithful adaptation to the 2013 game, which is a favorite of mine so I was in heaven seeing all of this stuff on the big screen. It's flawed sure, but it's a lot of fun.

    I might go see this by myself for $6 bucks

    Saw it last night. Only 10 people in my theater. The movie was fine, nothing really special.

    This is about to start and there's 3 other people in this theatre. I got a coronarita though so who cares if this movie turns out to be shit!

    Box Office is tracking better than I expected. Probably around $30 domestically. Up to $24 million foreign. Budget was around $94 million, so it still has a ways to go.

    I liked this just fine. Pretty slow pacing so I can understand why people would find it boring

    Really? I’ve got it tracking around $23 million this weekend. By the way I just got back from it. Pretty solid, I really liked this. And there was about 15 people in the theater today. Granted it was a 1:30 showing.

    Agreed with the pacing. Specifically the first half. The second half reminded me a lot like Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Cheesy but fun.

    I enjoyed it. I like how it was more of an origin story.

    I really enjoyed it and i think it does a pretty good job of bringing that origins story from the reboot game to the big screen. I thought she was a perfect Lara.

    First half or so isn't so bad but the third act is too confined and too boring. I did like Vikander though and I like the set up mostly so here's to another one if possible.

    Vikander was a good choice, I just thought everything around her was kind of bland. The action sequences were mostly good though.

    i thought this was pretty great.
    the big jump from the boat shown in the trailers had me a little cautious, but I was relieved when there weren’t many other moments like that.

    Yeah I really liked this. A little slow at points. Feels like this years Power Rangers to me where I just loved it despite the flaws and feel like critics/box office got it wrong

    Just watched it again the other night. I would kill for a sequel with that cast.

    Yeah I'd love to see a sequel for that. Hoping this gets a sequel too

    Despite the pretty underwhelming reviews, I actually really enjoyed this. I quite liked that the "emotional soppy" points seemed to be dealt with pretty quickly and not drawn out for the sake of it.

    Finally seeing this right now.
