People keep forgetting that this is suppose to be an adaptation of the 2013 Tomb Raider and not the original. That one Lara Croft in particular that actually had realistic proportions.

Anyway, update on the box office: In the second week it cracked the 211 million dollars worldwide (Not sure if that is counting with this week's China numbers however) for the 94 million budget. Do not get shocked if they make another one.

I saw it, and I really liked it. If you love the games and the new series it is really faithful to the feeling of the reboot. I thought while watching "critics probably think this segment is silly, but it is how the game would be and I love it". If I had one major criticism it is that the start didn't interest me as much and felt sluggish, and then when we get to the island and I was enjoying it the pacing felt rushed.

May be faint praise, but for me this is the best movie based off a video game and I'd give it a solid 8/10. I think the actress playing Lara was amazing in the role and made up for everyone else being okay (although I did like Nick Frost small role, because I just like him).

I really hope it gets a sequel with her reprising the role and spend more time being Tomb Raider as the action sequences were fun and I'd like to see her do more survival scenes.

This serious question or joke?

Golden eye is a video game adaptation of a movie, not the other way around. Game was based on movie, not other way around.

This thread has become obsolete when people started criticising the movie because of lack of breasts and sexiness.

That's why you shouldn't base your expectations on real life women from video game characters though, the former are real living beings while the latter are idealized characters.

She looked great and I even enjoyed the video game fantastical elements because I was having fun and love the character.  I am struggling to think of anyone they could have got that would have been better for the role.

;)

Mileage may vary, I liked the old Tomb Raider as a guilty pleasure and have enjoyed the series.  This is "solid" meaning nothing elevates it unless you're a Tomb Raider fan like me.  I think Alicia Vikander has a good career ahead of her and like her a lot in the role of reboot Lara. I selfishly want it to do well to get a sequel, but I understand if others think it is just fine as a movie.

Alot of real women are better looking than the idealized female characters in video games. Video games still aren't able to capture the beauty of the female form.

*WOOSH*
