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.

Honestly if Tomb Raider wasn't in the title I would hardly ever realize this is Tomb Raider related.

There was maybe one episode where "Lara" didn't cry. There were zero episodes where she did something on her own, she always needed help from someone else.

The storyline was as generic as it can get. Serviceable, but generic.

The environments were very nice, but I generally disliked how the characters looked like. They all felt too cartoony for me and out of place with the environments.

This show also wouldn't exist if she used her guns from the beginning instead of the last 10 minutes of the last episode.

All in all, it's not terrible, but it's nothing to write home about either.

Just another typical modern adoption of a thing gamers used to love.

The father figure trauma made me want to scream at the screen so horrible, boring and cliche it is.

Lara seemed soft and incompetent......instead of the strong amazing character I remember from the games.

She does too much crying.....like every episode?!

Not a fan of the animation or art style.....animation fps drop and I don't know why or how or......wth is happening.

I'll just stick to the videogames from now on. Not sure who this was made for, but definitely not all the kids who downloaded the mods for lara croft videogames.

Really dissapointed in this one.

That's probably not a surprise for anyone who's played the more recent Tomb Raider reboot games. But I was hopeful we'd see a development in her character towards the independent, bad-ass thrill seeker she used to be in her previous iterations.

Not so. Instead, she retreads the same emotional beats she does in the game. And in some ways, even worse. She feels frumpy, downtrodden and guilt ridden. The fun, confident and witty Lara, who was so impeccably brought to life by Angelina Jolie is completely gone.

She's replaced by this sad sack, weepy, girl-next-door who just needs her friends to hug and support her.

On the plus side, the 2d animation and its integration into the 3d elements is very well done. The action scenes and their direction are fun and kinetic and feel like Lara Croft. The background and environments also look really good with lots of attention to detail. You can't fault the animators on this one. It's the writers who let Lara Croft down.
