Alicia Vikander’s ‘Tomb Raider’ Set for March 16, 2018

The big issue with them making a movie out of the reboots is that the story of the reboot-series TR games really suck. The first one is pretty bone-headed of just Lara trudging along from one end of Rust-Island to the other, with a supporting cast of really awful characters that are all just cliches. Despite the praise thrown on the game, Lara doesn't really grow as a character, she just stumbles around and lucks her way through everything. She's not a wimpy co-ed turned into tough survivor, she's just kind of a flailing ragdoll with guns.

The second game features Lara...Fighting the Illuminati and being a dick to everyone because IT'S WHAT FATHER WOULD'VE WANTED!, and doing exactly the same shit as the first game.

The other thing is that the character of new-Lara really sucks. You kind of expect her to grow and go from this bar-floozy to tough, determined survivorchick. Except she just kind of transitions from whiny fuckup to whiny asshole. Her witty retorts to bad guys is either "Fuck you!" or "Go to hell!". She just...Sucks.

Then on the other hand, part of me would love to see Alicia Vikander's Rambo.
