Ah, the great Laura

As a work based on the best-selling game of the same name, it bears the heavy responsibility of a large number of avid gamers.
It can be said that it does not need to worry about popularity, but it needs to ensure quality, because players will not allow the classics in their hearts to be killed. It's like Final Fantasy - Inside the Soul.

But as an ordinary viewer who has never played games, after watching this film, to tell the truth - I didn't feel any special shock - nothing more than a violent action full of personal heroism and a combination of many computer stunts. The only special thing is that the protagonist is a woman (this is really rare, after all, there are too many hot movies for men), and it is the image of the live-action version of the game character who was once voted as the second sexiest woman in the world. All the big scenes, confronting the enemy, fighting, and solving puzzles, are all Laura's personal shows, and she doesn't need any help from others. There is a scene in the film, in the ancient temple, watching the huge stone statue monster approaching, the men are at a loss, fleeing in a hurry, and then only Laura is alone... alone ~ defeating the stone statue ~ It feels a bit strange. But maybe that's the purpose of the game itself, the great Lara, always single-handedly challenging everything...invincible...and no emotion...well, the sequel should improve in this regard.

    When an adventure theme takes a woman as the protagonist, the selling point usually becomes the woman herself, such as Julie in this film

    The plot is very general. Angelina just showed off her figure and looked like "Look at how awesome and sexy my old lady is" from start to finish. The action scene is not strong, and she always poses and fights fake and flirty. The scenery in Cambodia looks good.

  • [Hilary meets Lara outside the shower with something other than a t-shirt]

    Lara Croft: Oh... very funny.

    Hilary: I'm only trying to turn you into a lady.

    Lara Croft: Mm...

    Hilary: [sighs] And a lady should be modest.
