Personally I didn't much care for the film, I saw it but felt it was a rather week film and a poor adaptation of the game. Ignoring the fact that they removed Sam from the story and gave all of her contributions to Richard Croft they also gave all of Lara's contributions to Richard Croft.

She is no longer the one finds Yamatai as she is just following her father's notes, her reason for searching for Yamatai are now all about her just trying to find her father instead of her making her own mark and destroying Himiko is now something her father does while Lara just stops Himiko's thumb from getting off the island. Not to mention that Lara spends most of the film making things worse and is only ever useful when she finally does what she is told and is dumbed down for the sake of them plot.

Though that's just my opinion and if you enjoyed it more power to you. I am glad that Sam was at least mentioned and I'm still holding out hope that she will return. Thank you for catching me up to speed on everything.
