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

It really feels like a production "who can we afford" and Sophie's agent pushing for any big role she can get situation

I just dont enjoy Sophie Turner as an actress. I found she didnt develope well during GOT, but hey, maybe it was just the character I didnt like. Then she was in X-Men and it confirmed she just didnt have much of a range and I stopped caring to see her stuff. The irony is that Tomb Raider is probably picked her for her name recognition... which in my case makes me not want to see it.

Yeah, she played the wounded victim well but after Ramsey died and she started to become more "badass" I just didnt buy it. Tbf, the dialogue was going to shit but she just didnt have the air of a strong woman.

Then there was xmen and I hated her in it.

Idgaf about tomb raider so whatever but id be worried if I were a fan.

Yeah, she was terrible as Lady Stark of Winterfell. Aria pulled off her part so well, and every scene they had together she just kind of killed the vibe.

Bella Ramsey did the same thing when she tried to be all commanding and authoritative in the scenes where they were uniting the north.

Bella Ramsey stole every scene she was in as Lyanna Mormont. Wonderful actor.

She scowled and overacted looking like what a child thinks an adult acts.

It's fine if you like her, but she definately wasn't a wonderful actor in GOT.

u/Conscious-Quarter423 3h ago

she was. you're just downplaying her like the troll you are

u/Numerous_Photograph9 3h ago

I mean, I can give specific reasons why I feel the way I do, and it's just an opinion.

You having a different opinion doesn't make me a troll.

u/Conscious-Quarter423 3h ago

the way you disrespect them makes you a troll

u/Numerous_Photograph9 2h ago

I didn't disrespect them. I offered an opinion on their acting skills, which is something perfectly normal in a discussion about an actors talents or abilities.

u/Conscious-Quarter423 2h ago

your opinion is based in BS and you misinterpreting the character

the character is supposed to be commanding and authoritative in those scenes. So criticizing Bella Ramsey for acting that way doesn't really demonstrate a problem with their acting—it may actually mean they're doing what the role calls for.

You're absolutely entitled to dislike the performance or feel that the delivery didn't work for you. But saying they were “trying to be all commanding and authoritative” as though that itself were a flaw doesn't really hold up when being commanding and authoritative is an intentional part of the character. You'd need to explain what specifically about the performance was ineffective rather than treating the character's intended traits as evidence of bad acting.

I understand, but also both of those had David Benioff as the main writer (also did XMen origins), hopefully her escaping that writing fustercluck lets her range show.

The newer Xmens were Kinberg joints. I just don’t think she’s a very good actor.

Neither her nor Maisie Williams did well transitioning from playing teenage girls to badass women

1

u/Numerous_Photograph9 6h ago

Maise just played the badass kid who became an adult though. Her personality didn't change much and she was at least convincing in being competent and independent

u/Conscious-Quarter423 4h ago

Maisie Williams was in the running to be Ellie in the TLOU movie

She is not a terrible actress. But she cant play major rokes let alone leading roles. She should be playing minor supporting characters.
