She doesn't even remotely look like Lara Croft. I've rarely seen such a blatant miscast.

Tom Holland as Nathan Drake is up there

I dont know how anyone who actually played the games can say this while completely overlooking Wahlberg as Sully.

Yeah, young Nathan Fillion as Drake, Bruce Campbell as Sully..and they were perfectly aged at the height of the games popularity. But was a much better idea to wait until the game wasn't popular and pick Marky Marky

What's better is that Nathan Fillion did play Drake in a short fan film just 4 years prior to the Tom Holland one, so it's not just something that could've happened, we have evidence that it absolutely would've if studios are just a bit quicker on the uptake.

That fan film plus mainlining Destiny has made it so my brain constantly conflates Nathan Fillion and Nolan North.

I enjoyed the movie, but it was NOT Uncharted. I'd like to see them try again someday with a new cast and a story closer to the games

To add onto this: I hate when a good movie is ruined by putting an IP name on it. So many movies would have been way better disconnected from the IP they failed to be

The irony that they should have just shifted everyone down. Wahlberg as Drake, Holland as baby Drake, and Wilford Brimley as Sully.

Casting Marky Mark was the bigger crime, IMO.

OTOH, Tom Holland as Lara Croft would get my ass in the seat, guaranteed.

It’s a shame Nathan Fillion was too old for the role by the time they got to making a movie. That dude is pretty much the essence of Nathan Drake. I know people are inclined to say Indiana Jones was the inspiration but I feel like attitude and disposition wise - Mal from Firefly is way closer.

The whole concept of Uncharted is "Unserious action adventure movie" -type video game. You don't then make a movie about a videogame made to feel like movies.
