    Wow thanks! Can I use these in Daz studio? And can anyone tell me why I always see Angelina Jolie as Tomb Raider?

    Angelina played Lara Croft in two movie adaptations of Tomb Raider.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lara_Croft:_Tomb_Raider

    Angelina is probably the most recognizable Lara because of that. Gamers know about the different video game depictions of her, but to the public at large, Lara is Jolie.

     

    Haha yeah my boyfriend told me she had been in an eariler movie. I guess it was when I was little so I missed it. Guess I failed that pop culture test. LOL

    Thanks.  I'd gone an hour without thinking about how old I was.

    Same here. I played the original Tomb Raider. And even hope for Rhona Mitra to have the role in the films before Angelina.

    On one hand, it would have been cool to see the original model for Lara play the role. She’s also gorgeous, whereas I’ve never found Angelina Jolie very attractive. On the other hand, I don’t know how well she’d actually play the part (although apparently Hylas answered that while I was typing this post). The only thing I’ve ever seen her act in is Hollow Man, and she was good in that for what little they had her do. Jolie was already a big-name action star by that point, while I imagine even many players of the TR games would have said "WHO?" if Rhona had been the star.

    Also, if you haven't seen the Alicia Vikander Tomb Raider movie yet....don't.

    Is it really that bad? I have it on netflix but i wanted to end rise of the tomb raider before watching it as i read somewere it spoils some stuff.

    It's a passable action movie, but a terrible Tomb Raider movie because Lara has virtually no agency. The movie is just a series of things that happen to her, rather than things she does. Most of her dialogue is grunts of pain, and a major part of the movie deals with her daddy issues. Like Zack Snyder with BvS, the people behind the movie fundamentally misunderstood why someone would want to watch a Tomb Raider movie.

    ^Agreed - they also change the premise of the island from the game, trying to go the 'realistic / scientific' route, which makes the ending boring IMO.

    What? Tomb raider full scientific? damn. That touch of unrealistic/esoteric is part the heart of the franchise.

    Guess i will add the movie to the "watch on a boring raining weekend" list.

    I'll agree the ending is meh, but the movie itself is worth watching just for Walter Goggins.  Someday, someone will offer him another role worthy of his talents!  (The only really well-written thing he's even gotten was "Justified.")
