positive · AI labelView post →🎂 25 years ago today, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, directed by Simon West and starring Angelina Jolie, Daniel Craig, and Iain Glen, was released! The film introduced Miss Croft to a global audience and changed Angelina Jolie’s life. Did you see it when it came out? Did you enjoy it?

neutral · AI labelView post →I've been playing Tomb Raider since I was 7. First TR2, then TR3, and TR4. Lara Croft led me by the hand through middle school. It took years of watching her wiggle her butt in cramped spaces for the spell to take effect. By the time I entered high school, the vicious kuffars at Core Design had a hold of me : I was certain I was a murderous bourgeois british girl loosely based on Indiana Jones. I even asked my mom to make me a costume, complete with foam guns. Then I started playing Crash…

neutral · AI labelView post →The real problem, however, is not the plot. It's that the director, and by extension everyone in the movie is insufficiently horny for Lara Croft. Like, none of these dudes react in any way to being in the presence of Angelina Jolie. Only Daniel Craig and one random monk understood the assignment.

neutral · AI labelView post →5 years before he would debut as James Bond in Casino Royale, Daniel Craig was in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider as Alex West, a rival treasure hunter. A romantic backstory for West and Croft was hinted at in the film, but her showing up in his room after this scene is as far as it got onscreen. #FilmSky

Perdita Weeks is a *perfect* Lara Croft, and this is a Tomb Raider movie in everything but name. Well, ok, it's not over the top and there are no dinosaurs or lasers. But still. Go watch it.
neutral · AI labelView post →The temple is referred to as the "Tomb Raider Temple" or the "Angelina Jolie Temple" due to its depiction in the film Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001) The temple was built without mortar and, after it was abandoned, trees took root in the loosened stones.
neutral · AI labelView post →It is such a problematic emblem that it was noticed Lara Croft was wearing a belt buckle version for the first Angelina Jolie movie and it wound up having to be changed. Why? Because it's a Nazi symbol.

neutral · AI labelView post →AS ABOVE, SO BELOW (2014, VOD, #film) A kick-ass subterranean horror whereupon a plucky Lara Croft type follows a mystery into the Parisian catacombs where terror awaits. Worked for me from top to bottom with choking claustrophobia and real cinematic verve. h/t: @williambibbiani.bsky.social
neutral · AI labelView post →I know Lara Croft is hyper sexualised btw so that’s not perfect. And Evie becomes Rick’s wife in The Mummy films but guess what? She still got involved in the action scenes AND she was a librarian/Egyptologist who actually used those skills in the film. That was so cool to teenage me!

She looks great, is supple and athletic, doesn’t overplay, and takes with great seriousness a plot that would have reduced a lesser woman to giggles." www.rogerebert.com/reviews/lara...

That bizarre silver leather catsuit Angelina Jolie wore in the 2000's films was... okay, it was hot, yes, but not Lara Croft at all, and Alicia Vikander in the 2013 film was... fine I guess but her outfit had way too much of
