Talk:Tomb Raider (2018 Movie)/@comment-2038153-20170920184802/@comment-2038153-20170920193225

I don't expect any adaptation to be 100% and video game movies have a major disadvantage of already by being anywhere from 6 or even 40 hours long.

However, seeing how big the reboot's popularity is I would expect them to get at least Lara's most important character trait down. This is like turning Harry Potter into a coward, or making Rorschach into a reasonable person. Its a unneeded change that shows, to me at least, that the film makers either don't know or don't care about the game.

However. you are right that a movie should never be judged on its trailer as I have seen great trailers for films that were crap and trailers that didn't do the movie any justice. However, the trailer, in my opinion, is doing a terrible job at selling me on this movie.

Maybe the movie will be great and will be the one that turns it around for video game movies but right now, it just looks like every other video game movie made. Barely fallowing the story, removing key characters and changing plot points for no real reason.

Its a paradox you have to know the games to understand the story of a video game movie. And if you do understand what is going on, you will hate what is going on.
