Tomb Raider : La légende de Lara Croft

Not much to say really. Why can't they make it based on the real Lara Croft and not the nerfed, new one? The could have atleast used Keely Hawes to do the voice? She has none of the mannerisms of Lara and doesn't even look like her. And now the black guy is gay for some reason.

Im as bored as hearing about Laura's parents now as I am of Bruce Wayne's. I don't care about that story that was made up after the OG lara.

The story is quite predictable and we've already seen it a ton of times. Give us something new, as in new, back to the original but with a new adventure.

Backgrounds look nicely drawn though, so props to the artists.

Lara croft is a legendary franchise, from the jagged edged video games to the modern movies, she has become an iconic character.

This TV show fails to capture almost any element that makes the character what it is. Lara croft in this show might as well be super human, to the point where even people who play the video games will be forced chuckle. The script is hilariously bad, with plot holes making you question everything from the very first episode and that could have easily been remedied with a little bit of attention.

To make matters worse the unrealistic dialogues land on your ears like screeching chalk on a board. This is not how normal people communicate.. I refuse to believe the voice actors are this bad, therefore I can only blame the direction that they were given by the production team.

The animation is fine, nothing ground breaking like Foghill of the five elements or the Blue Eye Samurai, but it does not drag the show backwards like all the other elements do. So the show deserves some praise for that. However it cannot save the overall product from being bad.

Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara is just a poor attempt at reinventing a legendary character.

That's the inverse of anime. Anime is supposed to have strong drawings and always cares about movement details. Second, this is not Lara Croft by any means. She is supposed to be enthusiastic, determined, and funny, but what I watch is the opposite of that. She seems more controlled by whatever incident happened. Personally, I don't love this series and don't recommend it for any anime lover or anyone who loves Lara Croft. I feel sorry because I waited for this anime. I think it could be better, especially when we talk about celebrity personas in Hollywood stories or video games. Finally please don't make part 2.

Everybody loves the original Lara Croft. I don't get why hollywood writers always feel the need to steal respected IP then strip away all the edginess that made the character lovable and unique. They replaced Lara with the generic "strong female lead" personality we've seen in literally every other movie/show that's been released in the past 5 years. Oh, and this show's story/plot - you've also seen/heard the same slop a million times. Who keeps hiring these mid writers? Obviously, no one smart goes into writing anymore and there is a big lack of talent in the industry but still, it's wild how often this same generic slop is released and how rarely a good show is actually released like Dan Da Dan or Blue Eyed Samurai.

Instead of actually using the interesting strong female lead that they paid to licensed. The turned her into the most stereotypical and uninteresting character I've seen in a while. Writers you literally had this show tee'd up for you had you used Lara's original character but you still managed to strike out somehow.

I was quite excited when the announcement was made and when the trailers were released, but now not so much.

Afzer the first episode I:m not interested at all. It doesn't seem like the way it's adapted here lends it very well to television or animation.

It starts with a bogus jump from Lara ala Dwayne Johnson in Skyscraper, then she cuts stone with her knife and runs around easily after getting bit into the feet by an aligator, which she killed, but the water is void of any blood.

You of course have more freedom with animation to do things a bit over the top, but this is just so far from reality. In the games and even the Alicia Vikander movie things were more grounded and it felt better.

Also the show doesn't seem to have an intro except the title in a weird looking 3D environment.

And you have opening credits while the show is running, which I always hate.

And it being Netflix they of course had to add the gayest black character anyone could think of in it without any reason.
