It's obvious from the get go that whoever owns the creative rights to Tomb Raider the game, had no say so in what went into the movie. I don't know everything about the game, but what I do know is that in Lara Croft's bio for the game, she was raised by a rich family, and put through finishing school. So, she IS a lady, unlike the movie makes her butch and tomboyish. Next, she was disowned and made her own fortune. So on and so forth. Angelina Jolie is a great actress, but this movie had just plain bad direction. Even great athletes need good coaches. The other performances are on par for a free-for-all cheese fest. All I can say is I hope these aren't the same people doing Resident Evil, or that they're not planning to do a Duke Nukem movie.
