1. Somehow, it disturbs me that I'm older than her.

Not gritty enough. Not...something...enough. Can't put my finger on what's wrong with these pictures, but nope.

6. Her grin in the second one is all wrong.
She lacks the worldliness that Lara (and Angelina) have. She looks like the sanitary knockoff of Lara Croft.

4. What happened to Angelina?
Going from Angelina to anyone else is an automatic step down. Plus this girl looks like a model not a super hero.

7. This is a job?
Who pays her to be Laura Croft? Seriously? As far as I know there are no movies coming out, no games coming out...

It's like some italian male model being paid to walk around wearing overalls, carry a wrench and a hat with a big M on it to be the "face" Of Mario Brothers...

Who pays this girl?
