Looks like it could be the first good video game movie. Although so many have looked good in the trailer before.

Angelina fit the Lara Croft of the time, but I think this new girl looks a lot like the Lara Croft of the new games.

Jesus... I'm not sure how anyone could see this trailer and not come to the same conclusion that I did. Whelp, here goes and I'm sure people who say I hate everything will follow shortly.

While I agree 1000000x she makes a more fitting Croft and she actually fits the most recent game character models, you can see that she speaks in monotone and without much care in every scene in this trailer. The CGI in a couple spots looked absolutely fucking dreadful, like Next level bad for 2007 in comparison to what shit should look like now in 2017. We've got a boring and weak villain, that guy has been entertaining in a few roles here and there, but he's a supporting bad/good guy, he's not meant to be a lead because he's just not fucking good enough and we'll see how horribly mediocre his role is in this, I can almost guarantee that. The one and only bright spot of the entire trailer was Frost at the end, but holy shit does that give away how bad of a movie this is. It looks pretty certain that he's got a bit part, and why the fuck would you throw your 2 minute cameo cast member that people are going to be excited to see, in the fucking trailer, unless you already know that this is going to struggle to pick up traction and sell tickets?

I could be completely wrong, but I'd be willing to bet this doesn't score higher than a 30% on RT and a 5.5 or 6/10 on IMDB. Even just fucking awful movies on IMDB score a 7, it's like the most ridiculous rating system I've ever fucking seen (latest transformers movie got a 5.2).

i prefer the new girl's smaller boobs, and she looks more athletic which fits the character more


Literally everything about her appearance is more fitting for the role. Angelina never made sense, but she looked damn good in the outfit, so you didn't hear people complaining until the movies actually came out and they were fucking terrible. I will say though, based off the trailer, it doesn't look at all like this girl speaking softly and without emotion is going to portray the emotional range of Croft all too well. I'm guessing she's going to look the part, but just fucking bomb it everywhere else.

If the movie was trying to be taken seriously and cast someone whose body fit the role, they should have looked for someone built like Serena Williams. This tiny chick doesn't even have a Ronda Rousey body, she's built more like a model. It's not very realistic to show her heroically defeating dangerous monsters and armed henchman (or whatever enemies she runs into this time around).

But from the trailer, it doesn't even look like they are trying to be anything more than baysplosions featuring a hot female lead. If you think her smaller tits are better, then I can't really argue with your personal preference. But I will say that I think the figure that Angelina cut in that outfit had a more widespread appeal than this new chick.

Lara Craft is just about exploring tombs against traps, animals, other explorers.
This looks like it kind of has those but without the exploring feel to it. Solving puzzles and such.
