Did the tomb raider movies do justice to the game?

1) Yes, she was. I can't think of anyone better suited to the role, actually. 2) As far as I know, yeah. I don't remember much about the games, because I never played them much, but it seems they were pretty accurate. No T-rexes in the movie, though. 3) I'm not real sure. It seems the premise of the games is Indiana Jones, feminist style, so as far as the movies go, make them less over the top. Universe-destroying artifacts are a couple of orders of magnitude higher than Christian relics. Seems there's enough mythology with the Spear of Longinus, or the Cross, or stuff like that to make some less melodramatic movies.

I had not played the game prior to seeing the movie so for me it was a good match, of Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft. It is interesting how some games are being transferred into movies. I mean the resident evil were also weren't they? I am not familiar with them as movies or games, but a friend who is a die hard game fan was critical of the movies. I think that when it comes to games and books there is always going to be a translation problem. There are aspects that while they are important to the fans of the original, they may find that a detail that is important to them will not be included because of timing issues, or the logistics of making the film.

I'm sorry, I have never played the game. I think Angelina Jolie made a fine Tomb Raider.

I loved this movie. I have both movies. Yes Angelina did a great job playing Lara Croft. I think she's got the right looks, body and character overall done. I am so glad they picked her. I haven't played the Anniversery game yet for pc but I am trying to learn more about it before I buy it. If this is true I hear about it being like the first game just improved then it should be awesome. I love the first tomb raider that came out. I had a playstation back then and played it. I only have a pc now.

Angelina Jolie is good as lara croft. She has the body and the chops to do the role. The movie didn't really stay true to the game. The storylines are too shallow and the writing can be better. This is usually the trap of video-game turned movie projects. Do the movie makers "re-create" the video game's storyline or should they make another story arc? There are videogame licenses that would be great movies... the key is to capture the characters perfectly and re-capture the experience and feel of the video game and translate it into the movie. a perfect example (for me) is Final Fantasy: Advent Children. It felt like a sequel to FF 7 (seven right?) and the characters and story captured the feel of the game. So directors and writers should take all these into consideration.

Angelina was great aas Lara Croft or as good aas sehe could be on those movies. She gave Lara Charisma and life. You could expect more from the movies, I think the thrill ride of the game was taken literally leaving aside the fact that a movie needs its silence moments to be well done. You can just jump from one phase to the other ... you don't make a necklace of pearls without a line ;) I think she is moving out not being replaced.

yes, it does, Angelina Jolie became my favorite actress because of this movie.

I think Angelina did great in the movie and the role really fits her . Now about the movie . . . I don't know . . . it needs some improvements . But I think it's impossible for the movie to stay true to the game . . . the game it's too complex and too good :))

Angelina was a good Lara Croft, but the films don't do justice to the game. The films are ordinary, but the game is not ordinary.
