If I had to use one word to evaluate Tomb Raider: Origins, it would be mediocre. If I had to use two words, I would think it would be mediocre and bland.
If you watch it, you will watch it, and you will not look forward to the story in the future, nor will you leave any memories.
As a rebooted movie, I don't think there is anything wrong with the casting of "Tomb Raider: Origins". In fact, after watching the movie, I think Kanmei played Lara very well. this role.
She is indeed different from Angelina Jolie's version of Laura as charming and charming. She is more ordinary and stand-up, with a thin body but a very powerful heart. The film mainly tells about Laura's first growth. Compared with the first scene of the movie, Laura was beaten by her opponent in the ring and admitted defeat. At the end of the movie, Laura was obviously different - her eyes were firmer and her heart was braver. Under the interpretation of Kanmei, this growth is very convincing.
But the problem with the movie is that it's too bland.
The story is nothing new. A story about the growth of a classic female character is too old-fashioned and too watery to tell. From the simple depiction of the heroine's stubborn character in the opening scenes, to the story of the death of her father and the secret of the ancient tomb, to the heroine embarking on an adventure to meet the villain, and then entering the ancient tomb to smash the villain's conspiracy, the heroine becomes stronger. .
The story from the beginning to the end of the movie does not deviate from a certain classic template at all. What is boring is that this classic story template did not leave fresh memories for the audience during the telling process. The emotional drama about the deep love between father and daughter is only repeated twice. The picture in my memory, as an action movie, except for the slightly impressive part of escaping from the plane, the other scenes are nothing.
Wu Yanzu, who I was looking forward to, is also very regrettable. As a kind of "guide" role of Laura in the film, in the whole story, he not only led Laura to the island, but also helped Laura escape at critical moments. It also saved Laura's life, so it seems that there are a lot of scenes, but this role is extremely functional, and it fails to make the audience form a memory point. The essence of ", it's a pity Wu Yanzu's appearance.
There is no doubt that this reboot of "Tomb Raider" is heading in the direction of a series, and this "Battle of the Origin" can only be said to have completed the basic functions in a satisfactory manner.
After this movie, Laura really became Laura. At the end of the movie, Laura, who survived the disaster, went to the pawn shop. That scene with pigtails and two guns can be regarded as a kind of memory of classic reproduction. point, but this movie is nothing more than that.
