I admit, I am not really fussed about a Lara Croft reboot, much like I wasn't fussed for a game reboot either. I am glad to hear that it's less sexualised this time around and more about Lara solving a mystery and showing off her mad athletic skills. Definitely one I may check out when it's on TV.Becky Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938602345709426466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-80372780259524752062018-04-15T09:04:42.873-07:002018-04-15T09:04:42.873-07:00I am allowed to comment today!

I have always been a sucker for Tomb Raider with the lost temples and hidden secrets. Of course, I grew up fascinated with Indiana Jones and History Channel and Nat Geo Egypt documentaries :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13647059655937671707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-29144071105049479682018-04-11T14:55:33.432-07:002018-04-11T14:55:33.432-07:00Glad you enjoyed it!

I am actually cool with the tank top, because if I was going to be like, being super active and shit, that sounds like the most comfortable, biggest range of flexibility, etc. And that is what I took away from this movie: "girl who played super rude AI wears tank top in new movie; islands and temples sound fun". Glad it was decent and at least entertaining! (And tbh, I'd watch her over Angelina, who I cannot handle, so there's that.)
