Tomb Raider: Original vs Remake - There’s Only One Winner

Two versions of Lara Croft. Two very different adventures. But which Tomb Raider movie truly finds the treasure?In this episode of Mart and Trev’s The Deja Review, we raid ancient tombs to compare the action-adventure hit Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, starring Angelina Jolie as the legendary video game explorer, with the modern reboot Tomb Raider, featuring Alicia Vikander.The 2001 film brought the iconic video game heroine to the big screen with globe-trotting adventures, ancient puzzles, and high-octane action. Nearly two decades later, the 2018 reboot took inspiration from the modern video game series, delivering a grittier origin story and a more grounded version of Lara Croft.Mart and Trev break down the action scenes, the puzzles, the villains, and the biggest differences between the films, asking whether the reboot improves the character or if the early 2000s blockbuster still holds the treasure.Does the 2001 original still lead the expedition…or does the 2018 reboot uncover a better Lara Croft?Grab your gear… the tomb raiding begins.Two long time friends, one podcast.This is The Deja Review.Enjoy the episode and remember to like, follow and tell your friends.As always a massive thank you to Little Foil Fish for our theme tune - ⁠ @LittleFoilFish Mart & TrevSubscribe to our Podcast - ⁠ @TheDejaReview TIMESTAMP00:00 Welcome to Deja Review00:57 New Year, New Films01:55 Tomb Raider Overview02:51 Plot Holes and Critique09:08 Cinematography and Locations15:04 Character Analysis and Performances19:46 Comparing Tomb Raider Films26:30 Introduction to Tomb Raider30:02 Plot Analysis and Character Development36:01 Themes and Comparisons to Other Films41:45 Franchise Future and Audience Reception46:12 Final Thoughts and Comparisons of Lara Croft52:05 Conclusion and Listener Engagement#tombraider #laracroft #angelinajolie #aliciavikander #VideoGameMovies #actionadventure #movieremakes #gamingmovies #thedejareview
