Big fan of the games, not really a fan of this casting. Mainly because I think she's a terrible actress.


Lucy Boynton would've been great

I thought she was serviceable in Dark Phoenix. But yeah, not a great actress per se.

Neither is Emilia Clarke if we're being honest.

Yeah that does nothing for me other than scream "bad casting".

Would have loved to see Ella Purnell but I assume she's too busy with Fallout.

I actually liked Vikander as Lara.

No movie or series will ever beat the cinematic thrill of just playing the last three Tomb Raider games.

Seriously, just go play the games. It's like you are playing an action movie.

Swing and a miss. Sophie Turner does not move the needle on a lot of fronts.

Really hard to beat Angelina Jolie in her prime

I beat it a lot to her in her prime.

I mean, is this a really a role that calls for a really good actress?

Well, you either need to be able to act or have a good pair to distract the audience. Not sure she has either going for her.

Yeah, I liked Vikander in the role as well, and Turner is a horrible choice for this version.

I like Turner in this role. She's no Angelina Jolie, but who is?

You know you're a video game nerd when the news of several hours of Sophie Turner in a skin tight outfit has you nervous about her acting ability.
