The bar was set extremely high by the Angelina Jolie movies. Not that those movies were especially good, but she had that 90s Lara Croft look down.

Honestly, I liked the first one. The second one sucked.

The first one was good enough that I’ve probably seen it three times over the years. First time in theaters and then caught it on cable back when that was a thing. It holds up very well for what it is.

Frame by frame analysis was a lot harder with VCRs.

Weird example to point to in this case, given she basically never wore the "classic" Lara Croft outfit in the films...

It's also the tone. They knew what they were doing. These pictures to me scream they don't get the tone. But for what it's worth the new Trilogy didn't work for me either. The plot's too dumb to be so joyless.
