Tomb Raider Movies May Be Getting Reboot

OP Lara doesn't have an air of vunerability even in the first game she went one on one with a T-rex with dual 9mm's.
Lara as a character in the original 4 was fairly bloodthirsty

I haven't seen the movies or played the games much so I don't know, but I feel that character development is definitely important in all formats.
Only if Chris Barrie reprises his role as the butler. It's almost the best role he's played... The best of course being Rimmer. But yeah, I think the second film was better than the first but neither were brilliant. It could work.
i didn't mind the movies, the games didn't really have all that great character development
it was mostly solve this puzzle, get item or get screwed and then on to the next puzzle

Angelina's acting was fine, it was the script and direction she was given that stunk, but considering the material they were working off of doesn't really lend to true movie storytelling, then perhaps everyone's excused. Frankly the studio thats greenlighting this project needs to take a moment and go, "OMG! What are we doing? STOP!" But they won't, and the money they lose on this will hurt future movies that the studio tries to do. When are studios going to stop and realize that game movies are NOT moneymakers? There is only one movie based on a game that worked: Clue. If a studio were to pull something that good off again, I might....
....express a moment of brief surprise. No, its not worth getting that excited over to go so far as make a Yahtzee promise. Nothing is perfect, and one person's concept can be another person's endresult of a triple burrito with tequila night.
And games based on movies have a better batting average than movies based on games. Movies based on comics, on the other hand, do even better.

Yeah, I did. I'd say that a psychopathic prostitute filled that role quite well. Probably not a great role-model though.odubya23 said:

Riiiiight, and Gordon Freeman/Master Chief/Chell/Zoey are so much better?
Scientist who watches others die after putting the world at risk.
Marine who's the only one ever to survive certain missions.
Scientist's daughter who smashes up machines.
Rich college student that sticks with three other strong men.
Again, Zoey (L4D)/ Chell.
So...you're condemning something based on what might have happened in the movies? Don't you think that's a wee bit irrational?
lol, "Angelina Croft" was the name of a short lived porn star.
There's no reason that Tomb Raider can't be as compelling as Indiana Jones or Underworld, some of my favorite movies. Obviously they'd need to flesh it out beyond what the games cover, but as a starting point the character and concept is sound.
But until I see a good trailer with a good plot premise and a better actress (preferably an unknown) then all I have to say is "yawn" to Dan Lin.

If Hollywood really has to re-boot the Tomb Raider franchise, can they at least use an english actress... Rhona Mitra would do very very well, She's hot as hell, she's english and she has actually BEEN one the people used as a Tomb Raider model at game conventions.
