I've also heard some folks need to stop being a prick

do you mean the idea for the sequel?

"Shrugs"...Don't even know if it has something to do with the sequel, All i know its the same sort of thing as the 1st Uncharted game's McGuffin.

Watched this today. Muy bueno!

Yeah I liked Vikander in the role and overall I thought the plot was solid. Not a game changer at all but it was an enjoyable flick

Bump..

Think this is coming to my cheap theater and am interested to get some more thoughts. Sounds like it might be worth a cheap night out?

Yeah. It was decent.

Well I saw this and really liked it. Thought it was solid with likable protagonists and and unlikable antagonists. Had a really fun action/adventure feel to it, very Indiana Jones with a hint of Da Vinci Code.

9/10 from me. Thought it was a lot of fun and I was engrossed start to finish.

Sorry to hear that Vikander probably won't be returning to the role from what I read. I hope they at least re-cast and do a sequel. It seems that studios don't seem to think things are worth pursuing unless it will get them Marvel comicbook movie numbers, like tripling or quadrupling (or more) the production budget. Maybe it they put Lara Croft in a silly costume and give her super powers?

Studios need to learn from WB and Sony and realize that not every single character-driven franchise has to be a multiple-film cinematic universe. Everyone keeps learning the hard way by pumping out more and more films to flood the market.

Yeah, it seems that Marvel comicbook movies have raised expectations to unreasonable levels for other studios. So a nice little adventure gem like this isn't deemed successful enough despite making a decent profit.

Everyone wants a piece if this massive profit associated with comic films.

The movie bombed both commercially and critically. Trying to pin this on some kind of failed marketing strategy is silly. The movie failed because it was a garbage film that banked on an IP that has long since past its prime in the public consciousness.

Wrong. It didn't bomb commercially. It made a profit...

I never said anything about the marketing.

At least they got the money back

...and enough for a significant profit.

Which is why I'll be annoyed if they decide not to pursue the franchise further just because it's not bringing in Marvel movie numbers. They couldn't honestly expect that much interest in an old washed up video game character, like Tzeen pointed out.

So did you see the movie? What did you think?

5/10 and that's being generous.

You know that the studio doesn't get all of the box office right? they get about 50% domestic and 30-40% international.

So they made around 30 million in profit. assuming things like marketing costs are included in the production budget.

Yes,i saw it..twice already.Bad idea to mix the two games,annoying was they made her "daddy's girl"

But,Alicia did a great job

She tried her best, I just wish the script was better.

That instant zombie virus thing was lame af... sigh.
