Not sure how I feel about this. On one hand, she looks the part. On the other hand...
"Lara navigates the chaotic streets of trendy East London as a bike courier, barely making the rent, and takes college courses, rarely making it to class."
That is not Lara Croft. She's not Peter Parker. She is way more capable (and rich) than that. Making her retarded/irresponsible to appeal to the masses is not the right way to tackle her character.

So looks like the first Angelina Jolie film may remain the best one (which was at least dumb fun), sadly.
ares834
Based on what? A single sentence in a film summary? Talk about overreacting.
Ridley_Prime
Not really. That sentence made it clear how they're gonna handle her character.
ares834
One aspect of her character.
marwash22
are you familiar with the character? i mean, that's literally nothing like the character from "Tomb Raider"
ares834
I've played the games, yes. Like I said, it's a single aspect of the character.
marwash22
i take it you're a Star Wars fan.
sooooooo, if the next movie were about Darth Vader, a flamboyant homosexual man from the Upper East Side of Manhattan who's struggling to get his artisanal sandwich shop off the ground... you wouldn't have a problem with that?
this proposed "Tomb Raider" movie sounds like shit. why even call it 'Tomb Raider'
Robtard
Ok, I laughed. Well done, Mouth.

I can somewhat agree.
Why bother tacking the name on, when the film could just as well be a different property?
I felt the same about the lste 90s Godzilla. Decent movie in itself, but, didnt have to be called Godzilla.
10 Clovetfield lane (unless its part of some bigger anthology or project i'm unaware of), same thing.
Ah well.

Agreed
especially when you read the rest of the plot they're going for
Kazenji
Gawd...KMC sucks with the edit button sometimes
not sure why her Father is involved with the plot, Nothing about the first game in the new reboot games.
TheLordofMurder
I agree that what they are proposing sounds like garbage and isnt anything like Lara Croft...
Well atleast the woman playing Lara is pretty...
Kazenji
I guess its not a surprise with Game to movie adaptations, Normally add something that wasn't in the games at all.
riv6672
This is more like taking away, than adding.
I'm not overly upset at any of this, for the record, its just a topic i've found myself thinking about with other movies (see above). I'm sure i'll still enjoy it.

Then there's the rare times where they create a new story within the game franchise world, Looking at the recent Assassins Creed movie.
Firefly218
It's just a slight change to her backstory. Won't bother me unless it doesn't work within the context of the actual story. Maybe she does have an inheritance waiting but she's not using it yet or something, who knows
riv6672
^^^that'd be a twist.

Hey if it works for you, i'm glad.
All i know about TR is what i've read here and there, the comic i used to read, and the Jolie movies.
This doesnt sound like TR, as of right now.

Like i said i'll probably enjoy it anyway, i'm not a hardcore fan.
I hope actual fans get some pleasant surprises plot wise though.
ScreamPaste
Did none of you play the reboot? In the reboot she didn't accept her father's inheritance and put herself through college by working in bars and other odd jobs to make her own way.
2013 Lara is best Lara. All of you can eat a dick. I just hope her girlfriend is in the movie.
riv6672
Your girlfriend eats my dick.
Patient_Leech
I don't have any particular preconceived notions about the character, so I don't really care. As long as she's hot and the movie is interesting I'm okay with it.
I actually did enjoy the Angelina Jolie movies somewhat (although probably the 2nd one moreso than the first), so I'll look forward to this for some fun mindless action/adventure.

Played it, but don't quite remember every detail about it, mainly the survival and hunting aspects. Did it also establish that she was mostly a no-show for class? Either way, it's one of the more minor things, so can give that a pass if the film is otherwise decent, but meh. Suppose I still hadn't fully adjusted to that different take on her, but it is fresh and arguably more interesting.

I've never found any of her comedy very funny. Even the Sean Spicer is really only funny because the whole Trump administration is such an easy target, it's really a complete joke already. No mockery needed.

Real men are salty about there being no mention of Sam.

So is she just going to be a Tomb Raider this time or is she going to be a Secret Agent (or whatever) again to?
Arachnid1
That looks like a campy, jokey, rip off of the first reboot game. That honestly looks about as average as it gets.
Kazenji
Looks like they're trying to combine the last few games with the reboot game, Where she had her own little HQ with guns and pals helping her out
they've also butched the story of the reboot game too.

I actually kind of liked the second one with Jolie. It was fun. The first one was pretty schlocky, though.

Until yesterday.

wasn't blown away. Walton Goggins is in this, so that's something, but from that small clip, it doesn't look like they let him be Walton Gogginsy enough.

Just watched the trailer. Looks like it could be pretty good.
Lara could have bigger flotation devices thou...
Kazenji
They weren't that large to begin with for the Reboot game.

Go Classic with big Pixelated Bounceness.

But this new movie based on the Reboot game or are we just ignoring that info?
Impediment
This film will be based on the 2013 reboot game by Square Enix.
Devil's Triangle, Yumatai, Sun Queen, etc.
The trailer showed several very familiar scenes from the game, even.

Nostalgia for the old aside, reboot Lara is fine, yeah. We have someone that looks the part for it here too and seems like it'll be a fun average action adventure flick, so will at least give a watch.

Agree.

"Unrealistic" is the wrong word to use, imo. Still, the reboots did shrink her down, and if that's what they're basing it on, then so be it.
Trailer looks like it'll be a solid movie too.

I wouldn't say she looks athletic. Not at all. She doesn't need to have a huge rack but she needs to look like she's stepped into a gym before at some point at least. On the plus side, she got the accent/voice perfect.

She doesn't look athletic? Are you drunk? I'm betting she spent months in the gym for this role. She looks like an Olympic athlete. What do you think athletic women look like?
This?

https://media.wired.com/photos/59c3d654e413633c168905e1/master/w_582,c_limit/TombRaider2TA.jpg Michelle Lewin for example. She's a girl who's pretty well known in the fitness industry. Look at any famous female athlete like Hope Solo, or Serena Williams, and tell me this girl looks athletic. She doesn't need to look like a male, but just take a look at her arms and legs.
https://i.imgur.com/glIiMPal.jpg
Just what is she planning on doing with that plank? Can she even swing it? This new girl looks like she'll break all her limbs and snap in half if a mild breeze rolls through. I can't imagine her being capable of doing the physical activities Lara regularly does. She looks like she can't even pick up a rifle let alone shoot it. Every girl in my campus female soccer team is more athletic than her. Every girl in my high school softball team is more athletic than her. If she's seriously what passes for an athletic female to you guys, I've got some bad news.
That is not "months in the gym". She's never been in a gym. She's good at keeping a low BF% but there's more to being physically fit than just dieting.
Patient_Leech
Yeah, she's lean, but still looks strong. Serena Williams is much too manly for my taste.
Surtur
Her look seems less "months in the gym" and more "months spent on the survivor reality show" lol. Her enemies are bears and really strong gusts of wind.

Not even a strong gust of wind, maybe even just a medium strength gust would give her trouble. Probably would tumble over and need a man to help her get up.

Y'welvome. Yes, she had such a rigorous 4 month training period. By the end of it, she could lift her own body weight for the first time in her life! All 117lbs! That's not even a plate.
I was talking shit because she is flat out average. If you seriously consider that physically impressive for a female, your physical fitness knowledge doesn't amount to much past a google.

Yeah, sounds like a pretty intense gym routine to me. It would seem that many retards here can't tell the difference between physically lean and fit vs thin, weak, and not fit.

She worked out for a few months before filming to look average/skinny as opposed tostick skinny stick skinny beforehand. It takes more than a few months to look like Lara Croft. Thats years dedicated to fitness. Not near something a few months can get you. Especially not in this case since all she attained was the ability to support her own body weight.
Physically lean and fit vs. thin and weak is an obvious distinction.

Hyperbole or not, you said it. We proved to you that she did do some heavy gym workouts to prepare for the role. She obviously isn't a lifetime bodybuilder, though. She's an actress. They don't typically go for the "bodybuilder look" even for physically demanding female roles anyway. She has a thin frame, but she still looks fit and strong.
riv6672
^^^nicely put.
I woulda gone with 'do you even lift, bro?', which is unnecessarily antagonistic. I figured you'd be more diplomatic.

Were the weights she lifted pieces of notebook paper with the word "weight" written on it?

They don't typically go for the "bodybuilder look" even for physically demanding female roles anyway. She has a thin frame, but she still looks fit and strong. What you did there was admit that you recognized it was hyperbole and yet decided to still argue the point of her having been in a gym before. You realize that means you intentionally argued the wrong point right? That means you recognized the fact that the actual/main point has merit: She does not look athletic or fit/built enough to be in any way physically realized as Lara Croft. She looks like a stick figure wearing clothes. There is no size, curve, or definition to any of her muscles.
You're not wrong about them rarely going for that super fit look when it comes to movies and actresses though. Charlize Theron in Mad Max was also super thin. Luckily, her being and looking physically stronger isn't really a prerequisite for this movie to be great, nor would it save it from bombing. More of a nitpick that would have enhanced presentation.

This is the part where someone who hasnt ever seen the inside of a gym would get defensive, and do something sophomoric like point out someone's age and post count.
Its also the part where someone who benches 385lbs would post a pic...

L. O. L. Sophomoric? Says the one who's been passive aggressively throwing out indirect comments instead of actually taking part in the argument. I've ignored most of your dumb side comments.
So what looks like it would be a better representation of Crofts fitness to you? This or this? And if you choose the second one, why?
riv6672
You mean the fitness model or the actress?
Considering the fitness model likely cant act, i choose the actress.
And thats an actual not ****ing with you answer.

And thats an actual not ****ing with you answer. Yeah, of course you'd choose the actress for the acting role. Thats not the point though. It goes back to this:

I'm saying the fitness models body is a better representation of how Croft should look. I'm not saying the fitness model would be better in the role or that being physically stronger makes her a better actress. I'm talking solely about her physical attributes. Croft in both the new and the old games had more of a fitness model physique. While that doesn't make her wrestling a 300lb man or backflipping over krakens believable, it at least helps sell the point. It's not necessary but it's nitpicking something that would have helped the presentation.

Here is how she "should" look (below), and I'd say they got a great match and a phenomenal actress to boot. This discussion started because you said she didn't go to the gym. We proved you wrong.

She's young, athletic, and seems to fit the role. She looks pretty accurate...

http://ksassets.timeincuk.net/wp/uploads/sites/55/2017/03/Alicia-Vikander-Lara-Croft-Tomb-Raider.jpg You guys focusing solely on the hyperbole comment despite the fact that I've outlined the main point to you multiple times doesn't make much sense. Saying someone "looks like they've never stepped into a gym" pretty obviously means that they don't have much muscle. Arguing the literal meaning of a saying completely misses the main argument. It's like you trying to prove Surturs comment wrong.

Congrats. You proved him wrong.
Though she actually does look a bit better in that photo than the original one in question.

I don't know if they were filmed far enough apart for her to make a difference by working out, if they just photoshopped it on top of that obvious filter, or if its just angles, but there's a noticeable difference. You can actually make out her delts and triceps in that photo (her arm in general looks thicker), not to mention her thighs have more shape to them.
Surtur
Indeed she has that "I barely eat anything, but do muscle training" look.
Bangable.

I'm still curious as to why the studio didn't just contact the actress for the re-boot Laura considering that she did both the voice and motion-capture work for it and the movie itself is taking inspiration from it.

She was going through a pregnancy this past year according to her wiki page. It probably just conflicted with filming.

I think theis whole thing boils down to shitty cash grab name recognition. Basically half of what makes hollywood, hollywood these days.
Patient_Leech
^ But Vikander isn't exactly a household name. I think they legitimately wanted a great up-and-coming actress.
riv6672
That works for both parties.
It puts the actress' name out there, and saves the studio money.
Patient_Leech
They certainly made her look ripped in this poster...

Indeed she looks like it would take her only 3 tries to open up a jar of pickles.
Flyattractor
Ewww!? How does having a Huge Arm Vein like that make you looked "Ripped"? Muscles make you looke RIPPED! That Arm Worm makes her look like she needs a trip to the vet.

And they dare to say "based on 2013 video game"...bastards.A SURVIVOR IS BORN is way better then this.I will watch this movie only because i respect Alicia's dedication for this role.

Patient_Leech
The comparison with the game. Because I don't know much about the games. Certainly not much about any recent games. I used to watch my brother play the old games, heh.

Alright...let's see....from what i've seen so far they changed :the first scene when Lara first arrived on the island,in the game the island is in dragon's triangle not in devil's sea,they made Lara as someone who loves to party ,in the game she's more interest in books then fun.They add trinity in this and in the game is not mentioned only in rise of the tomb raider we encounter this organization.And made Mathias as an agent of trinity - totally wrong - and were are the others from the game ? Seriously this movie is looking bad.
Patient_Leech
^ How did you feel about the Jolie films?
I didn't like the first one much. Actually found the second one more fun.

I have nothing against jolie,but the stories were bad,it's like i saw a mission impossible movie,not tomb raider.
Flyattractor
I do hope that in this movie she is more of the Rogue Archaeologist in this movie then a Sort Of Secret Agent like she was in the Jolie Movies.

Not having played the game, just going what you explained?
I'd say its looking -different-.
I mean, it cant hurt (in and of itself) not to be a shot for shot remake of the game.

Really you found the 2nd movie more fun?....each to their own i guess
found the first movie more fun.
riv6672
^^^Me too.
I've grown to like the second more, but the first had that fun factor the second only touched on.
Kazenji
I just hated the 2nd one, Absolute crap
buy hey each to their own i guess.
riv6672
Oh thats how i felt. I was really disappointed, still am.
But i've caught it a few times on TV, and its not totally unwatchable. It has fun spots...like you see corn kernels in poop.

Patient_Leech
^ Yeah, since i haven't ever really played the games I don't have much expectation for this.
I only hope for a fun adventure flick with a hot chick in the lead.
So I don't really give two shits if something is a little different from the games.
riv6672
^^^same same, and same.
Looking forward to this.

Another thing that's also missing is the ongoing storm around the island, Preventing the people from getting off it.

Looks a little trashy and cliched, but hopefully it'll still be fun.
She makes some good points here, with such a great actress in the lead she probably will make the action believable...

I'm pretty sure that Lara Croft will bring huge income for holywood again.But involving trinity in "her legend begins"it's not a good idea,in my opinion.

a good adaptation of the reboot game.
Nemesis X
I'm pretty sure Lara cared about archaeology ever since childhood so going ahead to her late teen/adult years without caring seems uncharacteristic. Her personality in this movie seems as monotone as that dude's voice making her Angelina Jolie version look like she had more character development by comparison. But that's just judging from these clips.
Really, I just hope it's at least like that game, Rise of the Tomb Raider, where even though the story and characters bite, at least there's plenty of action to even it out and make it entertaining overall.

Different strokes for different folks i guess, I enjoyed the game more then you going by your hate towards the Story and character's.
Nemesis X
Never said I hate the game. Overall, it's a decent experience with the fun ways you can sneak about and fight enemies.

You must not be as exposed to what I consider cliche in which case I'm jealous. I've seen enough of the things that happen in Rise's story to be angry every time I guessed what will happen later and was right -_-
