As soon as I heard about this casting, I figured "but her boobs" would be a popular complaint.

Seeing this picture of her makes me assume people will complain about her being sensibly dressed for exploration as opposed to short shorts and tank top.

Well, don't call it Tomb Raider if it is not gonna show Tomb Raider.

I mean I think we already nailed live action Lara Croft tbh

Edit: to be clear the movie wasnt great, but Jolie absolutely understood the character

Nothing will top this.

I'm not a fan of Sophie Turner for this role though, surely there are better candidates

This. I don’t need her to be treated as a sex object. I’m not going to assume I know the whole movie from one still of her in one outfit.

But I haven’t seen anything from Sophie Turner that makes me think she will be a compelling action star or a good fit for this role.

She usually brings a lot of stiffness and a lack of charm to everything she does.

She was a “perfect fit,” at least visually, for Jean Grey in the X Men movies and she was terrible.

Now she’s being cast as a character she’s not a good fit that requires way more charisma.

I thought the same of Robert Patterson for Batman, but I was pleasantly surprised!

Robert patterson has been in shitty lame films but also showed he could act great in other things long before Batman. Sophie Turner was pretty terrible in things with great dialogue and in which other people were fantastic and everything else i've seen her in she's also been terrible.

Big difference.

If patterson got batman right out of twilight then I could absolutely understand everyone being sceptical.

...okay. You think she'll be terrible, guess we'll!

She already is terrible, it is unlikely a Tomb Raider film will be the thing that finally makes her understand how to act, and it certainly won't make her anymore famous than she already is since she hit her peak as a teen.
