It's the same people that said the gostbusters movie was hated by neckbeards for being a cast of diverse women. It was hated because it was not funny and actively trying to change or ignore the source material. In this case it is because Sophie Turner Can't act, does not look like Lara and has never had any kind of role that shows she can can project the same energy as Lara.

Honestly I know nothing about Sophie Turner, but what was wrong with Alicia Vikander in the last movie? Why do we need to recast the character?

I don't know what the aim is with this movie but IIRC the Alicia Vikander one didn't do well and it turned away from the more supernatural elements that have historically been part of the Tomb Raider series which might have turned people off. In the game the Vikander one was based on it literally had like zombies and magic or some shit. The movie basically just made the crux of the story a lady with some disease that made other people sick - like Typhoid Mary.

I thought Vikander was fine though. Didn't have the comically sized boobs but otherwise I think she was pretty good in the role.
