@@arthas640 haha, true that. Actually I don't understand why (YT) movie critics are going off about it. As far as a cinematic translation of the game it was perfect; took all the iconic things of the game (minus the music) and put it into a creative original storyline, separate from the games.... sure the storyline was a bit unrealistic; but it was still; even if you didn't play the games an enjoyable popcorn movie. Watched it yesterday again and it aged pretty well. Sure, it's not as memorable as Indiana Jones or the mummy, but still extremely enjoyable entertainment food. I think if this would come out today, it would be an enormous blockbuster hit; though I'm afraid that says more about the current utter lecturing garbage Hollywood puts out then about the movie itself.

In the very first Tomb Raider game, if I remember correctly, there's an opening cutscene where the villain tries to pay her to hunt for treasure and Lara rejects the offer, stating "I only play for sport". Which prompts the villain to change the offer from a cash incentive to a dangerous and wild enough place to pique Lara's interest.

And he just put his arm around her shoulders after that. It's nice that for all the goofy shit she did, her dad's always had her back, tried to get her cleaned up and happy.

Considering how Lara Croft was depicted in the 90's, the movie is actually consistent with the source material and Angelina Jolie was the best actress that could have portrayed the character. I would have preferred a film adaptation of the TR1 PlayStation game plot and a bit more focus on the atmospheric aspects of her actually raiding tombs. If they had gone more in a direction of Indiana Jones and less action focused, and maybe some subtle horror elements, I think it could have done well and been more faithful to the franchise's original premise. Could have been better, but could have been much worse. I went to the theater to see this movie when it was originally released and it was about what I expected it to be, which was a reasonably enjoyable experience. It's a lot better than other movie adaptations of video games. I had no idea that a sequel to this had ever been made though until several years later after release.

Well, as a woman who was a fan of Tomb Raider back in the late 90's-early 00's, I always enjoyed this movie. We didn't have that many movie-action-heroines back then (mostly were on TV), and movie-Lara was a step above the two-dimensional woman of the games. She did seem to have an actual personality here, thanks to Jolie's great performance, and I liked that she was an actual action hero, not a damsel-in-distress trying to pass as capable; not raped for the sake of moving her storyline. Even the closest thing she had to a love-interest was more of a Croft-boy than a proper love-interest. It was, like you said, cool.

@lilyjean9515 6 жыл бұрын

Well, I'm a fangirl of Tomb Raider too, and I just hated this movie ... Maybe because I watched it much later than you did. This is mostly the rough portrait, not very subtle and very caricatural of Lara that enervated me. Me, who always wanted to be like her in my youth, in no way I wish to be in the manner whose Angelina Jolie plays in the film, badly raised, repressing his title of Lady, and looking at everyone from top in a superior air. The Lara Croft of the game seemed to be more mature, smart and candid, a blend of purity and hardness. Here, it is constant and insolent hardness. Of course, it's my personal point of view. (French, my Engish is maybe bad.) ^^

I think it's unbelievably weird how, despite this being such a bad movie, somehow Jolie nailed that role.

And it's not like Jolie doesn't have her share of both good and bad movies, but somehow, when talking about her, this role is the first thing that comes into mind, especially that DVD cover. I think she was JUST like every gamer had always pictured Lara

The key in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, was that the actress was alledgedly under severe mental difficulties during the time of recording, to the point that she was on heavy stimulants. This means that in a lot of scenes, she is genuinely fighting herself, as well as her doing her own stunts in the movie too - apparently whenever she hit the ground she got right back up even angrier and wanting to re-shoot it instantly.

Also, the mystical artifact of the week is less confusing, and they dialed back Jolie's bra padding.

Honestly, casting angelina jolie was probably the single most perfect choice possible for that role. She had the perfect match in the look, and as critic mentioned, she had the wild child reputation that would make it believable. I just cant even begin to think of who else could have been chosen for that role other than her. I mean, who else could have been considered an action star back then? Sigourney weaver? Whats her face, the female marine in the alien flick? You just dont have many choices. Now at least we have wonder woman as a potential if they decide to reboot this film.
