everyone is all focused on Black Panther right now. I haven't' heard any uproar on Tomb Raider but it should be praised by the Me Too movement.

it looks good and I loved the reboot game, never played the sequel yet

movie seems to be taking inspiration from that game with some similar scenes but the story seems totally different. different villains. different location. and her Japanese female friend doesn't seem to be in the movie which makes me sad. I heard she also ins't in the 2nd game

I'm still gonna see it though

I'm just disappointed that the actress looks absolutely nothing like any incarnation of Lara.

It's a dumb video game movie. Why would it be politicized? I don't think it has anything to say.

the game it's based on was full of female power. it's about a girl stuck on an island filled with crazed men and she finds inner strength to do badass things to survive

I guess so. I never really got the interpretation that it was trying to be about 'girl power' or anything though.

It was trying to be a gritty origin reboot. It was pretty generic. I doubt the movie will be any different.

It's weird they didn't get the woman who played Laura in the reboot games to do the movie because she's literally an actress.

Same reason they don't choose the guy who voices 47 for the Hitman movies. They're not leading blockbuster material.

The Tomb Raider actress has won an academy award so that gives the movie more 'credibility'

I'm not defending it or anything. These movies are trying to be as safe as possible. They're basically cash-ins.

It's also not the first Tomb Raider movie made by Hollywood. Might have a bit to do with it.

I don't know. I'm not thrilled about it using the new Lara, when old Lara wad do much better.
