A.V. Club film editor A.A. Dowd and staff critic Ignatiy Vishnevetsky are back with another edition of Film Club to discuss Tomb Raider, the latest adaptation of the popular video-game franchise. Like the 2013 game, Tomb Raider is set up as a rebooted origin story, and does manage to establish Alicia Vikander’s Lara Croft as a vulnerable human character, as opposed to the empty sex-symbol action figure Angelina Jolie played last decade. Unfortunately, the movie around her is really dull and unimaginative.
