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.
