wiredGIRL Member Posts: 252 From: Registered: May 2001 | posted 06-19-2001 11:36 AM That movie could have been a LOT better. There were four major things wrong with Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. 1) Everyone kept calling her Laura, and I think Alex even called her Lauren! 2) AJ CAN NOT ACT!!! On top of that, she is so terribly ugly. Look at her lips! (Well, not that you need me to tell you that). You remember the part where Lara's present meets her father's past? I think you were supposed to feel sorry for her then. Did you? I sure didn't. 3) Who wrote the script and how did they get the job?? Most people would like to see a movie with a * good * script. 4) WHERE THE CRAP WAS WINSTON?????!?!?!?!!? IN THE FREEZER?!!? >=[ What did you think of it? IP: Logged

wiredGIRL Member Posts: 252 From: Registered: May 2001 | posted 06-19-2001 12:05 PM I didn't say anything about it being too short. I know there was a butler, but he wasn't old and he didn't fart. I also know why she shot the triangle. It was kind of obvious (duh?). IP: Logged
JolieCroftTR Member Posts: 77 From:New York Registered: Feb 2001 | posted 06-19-2001 12:41 PM i thought the movie was great and Angelina Jolie is my favorite actress, and she did a damn great job of protraying Lara Croft. . . who did you want to play her. . . Jeniffer Lopez who would have sucked big time. so keep your comments to yourself, you don't know who you could be upsetting.

aktrekker Member Posts: 222 From:WA, USA Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 06-19-2001 02:35 PM The big lips look great. That's why I love Dark Angel, too. Very sexy. But then I'm a man. I did have problems with the movie, but overall it was at least filled with action and great scenery. IP: Logged
larasmansion Member Posts: 35 From:Kapolei, Hawaii, USA Registered: Jun 2001 | posted 06-19-2001 11:57 PM Realy in the movie, Lara Croft is a tom boy because the smart computer guy that lives outside of Lara's house made her a tom boy. and why the butler wants lara to where a dress is because he never ever saw lara in a dress or a girl thing before. That funny. And her lips are funny IP: Logged
wiredGIRL Member Posts: 252 From: Registered: May 2001 | posted 06-20-2001 04:24 PM I did enjoy the movie but it wasn't as good as I wanted it to be. I don't like the idea of silicon (or whatever) injected into lips. That big impression in the center (in my opinion) looks really stupid. Lara has worn dresses before. It's not *too* terribly shocking for cryin' out loud! Maybe AJ is a good actress. I haven't seen any of her other movies before, but I really didn't like her in TR. Her character seemed too... crappy. It was cool that she did most of her stunts (or all - I don't remember) and I liked all the action scenes because her character was perfect then. OK I just remembered something that has been bugged me when I saw it. Near the end when Alex fell into the water (which I might add would have been WAAAAY too cold for Lara to bear for that long, probably) she KISSED HIM!! Why would Lara do that? >:.P Although I usually never have a problem with romance, I couldn't believe that scene. I mean, SHE KISSED HIM! Lara has never been known to be in love, right? Larasmansion, how dumb do you think I am? I know bloody well why she shot the triangle!!! It doesn't even take a teletubbie to figure that out!! IP: Logged
wiredGIRL Member Posts: 252 From: Registered: May 2001 | posted 06-20-2001 04:26 PM Oh yeah, I agree BIG TIME that J-Lo would have sucked majorly! IP: Logged
aktrekker Member Posts: 222 From:WA, USA Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 06-20-2001 05:15 PM I don't think Angelina Jolie has any silicon. The only other movie I saw her in was Hackers. She had the same big lips. That was awhile ago. She's grown up since then. As for being in love, I don't know. There was obviously something between her and Alex, but I think it was in the past. Now they are rivals. There may still be some feelings, but I don't think she loves him. IP: Logged
85 Member Posts: 192 From:Maryland USA Registered: Apr 2000 | posted 06-20-2001 05:41 PM what's wrong with big lips? the real lara has big lips too, so i didn't see n e problem there... I was kinda disappointed by the plot and the story behind it all, but you got to admit it had some great action scenes. Overall i think Angelina did a good job @ acting and the movie wasn't all that bad either. ------------------ Rock on. 85 IP: Logged
wiredGIRL Member Posts: 252 From: Registered: May 2001 | posted 06-20-2001 05:43 PM Yeah Lara does have big lips, but the grand canyon isn't in the center of the lower lip. j/k IP: Logged
torrok Member Posts: 114 From:Roebling, NJ, USA Registered: Jan 2001 | posted 06-20-2001 06:01 PM how could you not like the movie unless you are not a true tomb raider fan anyone who has played the games (and beaten them) and who IS a true tomb raider fan would be as honest about the movie as anything else in their life with that said I thought the movie was great i think she should have gone after a third piece of the puzzle but hey what do i know except that the movie was GREAT IP: Logged
TRLevels Member Posts: 123 From: Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 06-21-2001 02:10 AM I'm in the UK (i hate you yanks for getting the film first, but i won't go into that right now. I'll just say that it's a BRITISH game and Lara is BRITISH and everything to do with TR is BRITISH so why release it all in USA first?) Anyway, i haven't seen the film yet (obviously) but i think AJ is a great actress. Especially in gone in 60 seconds and hackers... So i'll probably like her in TR too. And the so called "big lips" are her real lips. The only reason women get their lips injected with whatever it is, is because they have had their breasts done too. It's just to make proportions right and all that, but i think it looks dumb. But AJ's are real. And about the butler... We all knew it wasen't going to be an old man that farted every 5 secs! That would just make the film a Mario-type one! (In otherwords, every other game that's been made into a film has sucked BIG TIME. Especially Super Mario. Reason? They copied the game WAY too much! How would you have liked the film if it had Lara running and jumping, shooting a few animals and then healing her self? Yeah, i'm sure that would be VERY exciting. NOT) They made all these changes from the game to make it more realistic. And why do most people in the film call her Laura? BECAUSE MOST OF THE BLOODY CAST ARE AMERICAN! Not having a go at you guys, cos i'm sure you all say Lara, because you have played the game and you KNOW her! The actors in the film say that they played the games and got to know her really well, so the least they could do is GET HER FRIKKIN' NAME RIGHT!!!!! Grrrrrrrr..... *calms down* IP: Logged
BranxSyvern Junior Member Posts: 29 From:Bellingham WA USA Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 06-21-2001 02:17 PM I thought Jolie did a pretty good job. I wanted Sandra B. but I liked AJ. I agree with the butler part though. SORRY PEOPLE I know it's petty but I wanted the old man. I have a personal liking to the old dude so I wanted to see him. Plot was fine don't know what your prob there was. As far as you keepin your comments to yourself, that's bull ****. I think you have every right to say what you wish so if you said Jolie should have gotten raped up the anal canal. I'de still respect your opinion. Bit over all, I enjoyed the movie. I like the games better, but the movie was fun. IP: Logged
BranxSyvern Junior Member Posts: 29 From:Bellingham WA USA Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 06-21-2001 02:32 PM TRL I didn't even think about the fact that Lara was Brit so why not show the movie their. Now that I think about it, it kind of upsets me. I'm a yank myself. (never understood why that's a bad slang...yank) anyways. I think it would have been apropreate(can't spell) to show the home grounds of the character. As for the cast that made the movie. I believe that a large portioin of the cast was English. The man that made the movie himself is British. At least, thats what I thought. But as far as who sees it first. I think you should have. But... then again the movie was made on an american budget so, what can I say... HA HA!!!! American movies are the best on the globe. (Yep... I'm a true blooded Yank!) IP: Logged
Raider of Tombs Member Posts: 442 From: The mining ship Red Dwarf Registered: Dec 2000 | posted 06-21-2001 08:52 PM Rimmer - er, Chris Barrie did a great job. He's never been in a movie before, and to jump into a never-before seen character is extremely difficult. And I mean really, who goes to the movies to see old butlers?! There's Lara, boom! bang! epileptic seizure action sequence! pan the camera and there's...a 70 year old butler? no. sorry people. While I was slightly disappointed immeadiatly after the movie, it actually does have a bit of an aura to it, the atmosphere of lara's fast-paced, larger-than-life, but slightly sad and lonely world. The only regret that I had was that Chris should have shot a few of the special forces, kinda like trinity to neo, but without the highkicks. Also, simon should have kicked into life and tossed a few badguys too. IP: Logged
larasmansion Member Posts: 35 From:Kapolei, Hawaii, USA Registered: Jun 2001 | posted 06-21-2001 08:55 PM YO wired girl!! Lara Croft give air to Alex! And when she shot the trianle, she did that because if someone is bad, they you know. IP: Logged
larasmansion Member Posts: 35 From:Kapolei, Hawaii, USA Registered: Jun 2001 | posted 06-21-2001 09:04 PM I don't remember them saying Laura. THEY SAID LARA. NOT LAURA!!! You must have a hearing problem!! IP: Logged
aktrekker Member Posts: 222 From:WA, USA Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 06-21-2001 09:43 PM I'm glad I'm not the only one who recognized Rimmer. What a role reversal!!! I think he did a great job, considering who he used to play. But I, too, wish he had nailed a few of the bad guys. He was dressed for it. But Simon? He really served no purpose that I can see. He did nothing for anybody. As for being seen in the US first...nyah nyah Sorry, I couldn't resist IP: Logged

fairchild Member Posts: 60 From: Registered: Jan 2001 | posted 06-22-2001 02:50 PM FYI, Lara is pronounced as Laura in most countries, (as in the actress: "Lara Flynn Boyle")... another tip: "arse" is pronounced as "*** "---stop your fussing about the native dialects of other nations; 'cause that's what you're starting to sound like. I liked the movie; the true test is when 850 million people watch it on video release. i think it will be accepted as the good screen adventure that it is... IP: Logged
_raven_ Member Posts: 203 From:Portugal Registered: Dec 1999 | posted 06-23-2001 07:39 AM You can find my opinion here!!! images/Forum22/HTML/023936.html And i'm not even gonna comment on the silicone lip's subject, since that is more of a critic to the actress herself than the movie. And furthermore that's just unsubstanciated rumoring, and there is no reason to believe a person can't have big fluffy lips, heck, i got them!!! And as for AJ's work, well, you can find my opinion on the link above!!! ------------------ "move'em out!!!!" "EVERYTHING YOU GOT!!!!" IP: Logged

Gnomefreedomfighter Junior Member Posts: 9 From: Registered: Jun 2001 | posted 06-23-2001 10:30 AM Not to be talking about something i dont know much about, but the origanal director DID get fired. Since the film he created was so horrible. So the new director only had about 1 month to totally redo the movie. So they deserve ALOT of credit. I thought the movie was great!And AJ did a great job of acting. wiredGIRL, what's up with the whole "her lips are to big" thing. Do you have massive lips and are jealous? jk IP: Logged
wiredGIRL Member Posts: 252 From: Registered: May 2001 | posted 06-23-2001 04:51 PM Oh, ok... I suppose they could be her real lips because I have a friend with bigger lips than AJ's and she's had them as long as I've known her. IP: Logged
Aqua Stylish Member Posts: 159 From:Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 06-23-2001 06:33 PM Okay let's put this to rest AJ's lips are natural, all you need do is look at her brother who accompanied her to the Academy Awards and you can see it is a hereditary trait! I'm going to see the movie in a couple of days (was supposed to be tonight ) and I know without a doubt I will love it for the mere fact that I love Lara and anything to do with her. By the way, Bryce is played by an aussie......well I can't leave Australia out of this country debate! IP: Logged
Netslider Member Posts: 176 From:Entroncamento, Portugal Registered: Feb 2001 | posted 06-24-2001 02:37 AM Well I love this movie. The movie started in Portugal on the 22 of June and I went to the cinema to see it. It was even better than the Mummy. ------------------ Keep visiting Tomb Raider Level Editing: IP: Logged
Brad Casali Member Posts: 465 From:Sandusky, Ohio, USA Registered: Jun 2001 | posted 06-24-2001 04:28 PM ok, people, let's get something real clear: Lara Croft is video game heroine, so therefore, she is meant to be played on a video game. not to be in the movies. face it: all video games to movies suck, take mortal kombat. need i say more. yes, i have seen the movie. it was okay, but i dont think that any actress alive could capture lara's true personality. to tell you the truth, i was totally dissopointed with the movie. lara croft didn't feel like lara. that's all i got to say.

Colin Grigson Member Posts: 776 From:LONDON, ENGLAND Registered: Jan 2001 | posted 06-27-2001 06:03 AM I haven't seen the movie yet although it's original release date in the UK did provide a kinda excuse for a piss-up between Inchdix, Cool#9, Raidernut and me so that all worked out good. My only comment is to let you know the word you are all looking for as far as lip injections go is...Collagen Col. ------------------ Come and visit us for all manner of TRLE related goodies New this week Stonehenge's Heir, Traio's Room, Ancient Legends I & II and The Catacombs of Sri Lanka Levels which all feature our EZ Installer, plus the TRLE RealTimeOnLine Chat Room, the chance for trle webmasters to join the TRLE WebRing and the only site with WADFixer IP: Logged

Did you never see angelina jolie in her first mobie where she was only 17. She had the same lips there. I think wiredgirl to see a women like this only hit your selfconfidence. IP: Logged
Michael P Member Posts: 205 From: Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 06-28-2001 01:54 AM Ok - movie finally started in Germany last night and of course I had to go to the premiere and I have to say I am with raven (at least most of the comments). It is a visually impressive movie, AJ is great, action sequences above average (though I have seen better), they did use Lara's German voice as in the game and that worked out great. And I really enjoyed how they did sort of slip in so many of Lara's game moves (flips, flares, runs, walking, Uzi, the bike, the jeep,...), BUT: the script feels a little like the game, as if it would go through Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, which for a movie does not work very well IMHO and I sort of left the cinema thinking: 'Yeah, great movie, but something was missing' Anyway, I guess I will go see it again and would definitely recommend it to every TR Fan! ------------------ HAPPY RAIDING!

David Troska Junior Member Posts: 19 From:Bronx, New York, USA Registered: Jun 2001 | posted 06-28-2001 04:40 PM I liked the movie quite a lot, but I think I missed something in the plot: Why did Lara have to destroy both pieces of the triangle? If she destroyed just one, the two halves couldn't be rejoined, right? I must agree with Powell here, my ignorance amuses me. IP: Logged
