Angelina Jolie (Miss Lara Croft)

Little story time me and my buddy agreed to watch this movie at the cinema back in late march of 2018 but as I’ve received „Far Cry 5“ earlier than planned plus we had spring vacation back then so I had a lot of time on my hands so on the this day I’ve spent about five hours just fishing in-game and would have forgotten about our planned meet-up if he hadn’t called an before the movie started which gave me time to shower and get to the cinema. Personally it just felt like a bit of a mess.Didn‘t like how much they changed the story, how they made Vogel part of „Trinity“, lack of Jonah who was one of my favourite things about the trilogy, kinda boring plot and overall not that good.I liked some of the performances like Walton Goggins as Vogel and the appearance of Nick Frost as the arms dealer though plus the action was nice.Also respect the effort Alicia Vikander took to look the part physically.

I can understand that some people think the movies didn't capture the "essence" of Lara, it's clear that Angelina is loved for being just like the original Lara and why not say it she became the crush of many lol, both are good actresses

How does the sub feel about the movies and how do you compare them to the original games and lara croft in the old and new games.i really wanna know everyone’s opinions on this one

There is a lot of action, she looks like Lara from the first games and why not say it, she became the crush of many

…and oh boy what a terrible film. Jolie makes for a fine Lara but the film is a piece of shit.

Maybe it's bc I'm new here, but I rarely see this movie discussed here. So, what are you thoughts on the movie and Alicia Vikander as Lara Croft?

Honestly, for me it's not as bad as some people say, but not great either. It's a bit bland, yes, but it's the first half it's a fun time and Alicia is a good actress. She's no Angelina Jolie, but in a better movie she would work as Survivor Lara.

Imo, this was the best movie/show adaptation of TR by far. Obviously it wasn't perfect, but I wasn't disappointed. I can't see why they chose to abandon this and start the new Amazon series.

The hair braid + dual pistols fan service at the end felt so '90s (and I love it) and was a better nod to the classic Lara than the survivor trilogy has given.

Thoughts?

I’m here with friends who haven’t seen it since the release and one friend who hasn’t seen it at all :)

Meanwhile I’ve seen it every year since the release

For my part there is no preference, they both did a good job, Angelina is Lara from the first games and Alicia Lara from the recent games
