    Umm... I'm a huge gamer an' everything... But what is this story doing on the site? It has nothing do with the atrocious flicks that already came out, and really, what the world needs is one less Tomb Raider game. How many times are they going to revive this franchise anyway? This is just getting old. Movieweb, if we're going to do a story on a video game with no relation whatsoever to filmmaking--at least do it on an interesting game...

    I like the girl in the picture, they could do a backstory before they try to do a a continuing third film in the Lara Croft Tomb Raider film. I too didn't like any of the Tomb Raider films I started to fall asleep in all there films.

    I've been following the games since its debut in the mid 90s. Fun games. Very much a modern Indy. But the film was such a disappointment that I didn't bother with the sequel :P
