Keep making Tomb Raider films
Edited on Sun Nov-23-03 05:50 PM by realFedUp
I like a female James Bond type film
with exotic locations and interesting sets, gadgets.
Angelina Jolie is perfect in these also.

I don't care what Richard Roper says about these.

1. they should make them
with good plot this time, the tomb raider movies until now surely lack them.

2. The first one was excellent...
The second one sucked.

Not her fault. Bad writing.

3. I didn't think the plot was that bad...
kinda like Raiders of the Lost Ark type adventure...
looking for a golden orb, map, box plot.

I don't think fans of the Raiders of the Lost Ark
series think those plots sucked.

I thought her "love" interest in the second
one was hot. Too bad there wasn't more in that
department...

4. Raiders lite
That was the problem. If I want to watch Raiders, I'll watch Raiders.

5. but Raiders has a male adventurer...
and Tomb Raiders has a female one...I guess
you have to be a female to understand that
we like strong female role models in films,
especially adventures.
That's why I liked playing Tomb Raider games
on the computer...and I'm old.

8. I love the character...
...and she plays it great. I said I liked the first film.

Charlie's Angels, Kill Bill. I love strong, smart female characters who kick ass.

7. BLECH!
Edited on Sun Nov-23-03 06:17 PM by Cat Atomic
Indianna Jones was a nod to the old serials. The Tomb Raider video game was a cheap imitation of Indianna Jones. The Tomb Raider movie attempts to stretch a video game into a movie.

Feels like a photo that's been copied on a Xerox machine, then the copy was copied, and the copy of the copy was copied.

Know what I mean? :P

9. Please STOP with these fighting women, LOL!
The games are cool, the first movie was irritating but deserved to be made, should have been a hit, etc.

But PLEASE, LOL, now we've got Xena, Charlie's Angels, Alias, Catwoman, Kill Bill, etc. etc. etc. Uncle, LOL! Girls can beat somebody up! They can jump out of buildings and shoot guns! It's like people just realized that women had brains and could kick ass.

I'm over it, myself. I hope the next wave of chick flicks is psychological thriller, LOL.
