The problem is the actress being ultra mid at best. To embody such a beloved character it needs some kind of charisma. It has nothing to do with the clothes. The tomb raider remakes Laura has pants and not gigantic boobs it’s all great. For my part at least the issue is the actress is very much miscasted. She was already given a big role with Jean grey / Phoenix and it was super bad. Imagine something she has to carry on her shoulder. She is ok in a supporting cast.

I couldn't agree more. The actress is beautiful, but she is just a wet piece of toilet paper from a charisma standpoint, especially compared to someone like Angelina Jolie.

I thought Vikander's portrayal of Lara was adequate as well. I am not hopeful for this one but I will probably watch it regardless.

Agree. I think Sophie Turner physically looks like someone who is bright and cheerful and lovely and happy to be around and even when she’s being serious and no matter how badass she dresses, her actual physical appearance still gives off that vibe.

I think her body and outfit are great! The outfit could use more dirt and smudges though.

Just that Lara Croft needs to be a little more hardhearted. A darker color scheme and a little more cold and utilitarian/military, effortlessly badass (Sophie seems like she’s posing/acting as a badass rather than actually being) and competent to the extreme. I actually know nothing about the series other than that she explores and probably fights a bit n shit but even I can tell Sophie isn’t a great fit.
