When Marvel's high-tech dominates the world, it is not surprising that a primitive adventure film surpasses "Black Panther" at the box office. After all, Chinese audiences will also be aesthetically fatigued, and it is not a good thing to change their tastes occasionally. However, there are a lot of slots, and remakes usually cannot surpass the classics. This is the curse of movies all over the world. Whether from the independent evaluation of the film itself, or from the series of evaluations that have existed before "Tomb Raider", it is somewhat nondescript. Let's not compare the original Laura's sexy mouth, plump figure, soft waist and mature acting skills. Even if the film is to show Laura's boyhood, the role and shape need to be changed, but: Pull, the shape of the bow and arrow, really not the new version of "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay"? It is said that when Laura found Wu Yanzu, the two hit it off and went to find each other's missing father together. Are they sure it wasn't "Where Are We Going, Dad" co-produced by China and the United States? It is said that Laura, who is carrying a bow and arrow through the tomb with a thin and flat chest, looks more like the Captain Mojin in Shu Qi's version of the domestic "Searching for the Dragon". Friends who are familiar with the original "Tomb Raider" will feel that time and space are confused and history has been tampered with when watching this film. After watching this Origins, you realize that it wasn't the first time that Laura's dad left her with tapes and unsolved mysteries in the first part, and before the first expedition began, they The father and daughter are not separated forever, because in this "Battle of the Origin", the father and daughter have already met. After watching this "Battle of the Origin", you will find that in the second part, Laura is not the first time to go to Hong Kong. Jump up and down. After watching this "Battle of the Origin", you will find that the birthday of Laura's father on the tombstone at the end of the film is written from 1963 to 2018, so the first two parts of the original version have completely overturned the time logic. Her father just passed away this year. The biggest bug is that her father was already killed on the island during the expedition (although it was later found that he was not dead, but he was still trapped on the island and isolated from the world), but Laura's inheritance of expedition notes and recordings are in the United States. , and it was safely stored in the lawyer's hands and in the family's villa, which is contradictory. The expedition notes were recorded by her father after landing on the island. However, after landing on the island, his father was murdered and disappeared. How did the things reach the United States? at home? In the first part of "Tomb Raider", Laura's father's adoration can't be more, but in this prequel, her father has been reduced to a cripple, and Lara shows the nostalgic worship of her father in the first part , obviously contradicting this prequel. In the first part, Laura was excited to see her father's video message for the first time, but according to the new version of the prequel, they actually met after her father disappeared. There are many loopholes in the plot, which cannot be connected with the original version. We can only think of the new Tomb Raider as a standalone franchise. The bicycle chase at the beginning of the film is still relatively bloody. From now on, we know that Laura once gave up a huge inheritance to deliver food. I also learned that before her father was alive, and later Laura, in fact, she had been fighting with her father's own company. Wu Yanzu is not a crew member, he is simply a special soldier who can fight with a gun. A more interesting arrangement is that the Japanese queen looking for in the film is actually the Chinese eight-faced Buddha. The English pronunciation of the island where the cemetery is located in the film is Japanese: flax down. Haha, one of the more classic lines in the film was said by Laura's father: All legends are based on reality. Personally agree. The overall evaluation is average, fans of "Tomb Raider" will definitely be disappointed.
