She perfected it in the second film, that scene in the Luna Temple when she first notices the relic and upon being asked what it is, simply responds with "it's mine." It sums up the the classic Core Design-era Lara nicely.
a bit late to add hear but she plays the games like for in monster hunter theirs a strong probability she plays tomb raider as well and yes she definitely nailed it it really hit me how much she sounded like lara.
I think she understood due to her and the character have a lot of the same passions for exploring, loss and seeing the beauty in the mysteries of the world. Not to mention she looked and embodied the character naturally as well.
This combat sequence was really well done and it portrayed exactly how the Lara in the video games would do. The multibackflips she did ending in a quick draw release on the landing was a perfect representation of Laras acrobat skills. the side rolling and diving while shooting is also Laras signature moves too. Very well done scene that did the games justice.
I agree! The new Lara in the video games need to develop faster because NO OTHER hero/heroine had those signature moves/weapons ( dual handguns/pistols, acrobatics). It's what made her memorable and stand out. Now she doesn't even do any acrobatics and has not dual wielded as a primary weapon set or secondary *sigh*
The Kadju As someone who’s played the mobile ports of the og Tomb Raider 1 and 2, I agree that this is the only sequence that feels straight out of a game. Still, it does a good job. I can see what button inputs corespondent to the choreography of the scene, especially with all the jumps in every which way and quickly firing upon landing-good stuff, my friend
That fight sequence was the beginning of the end of my childhood. There have been better Hollywood blockbusters than this, but they were never as fun as they were back in pre 2001
Quite often I've said movies based on videogames are never done right. Lara Croft: Tomb Raider is an exception. Was very well done. Angelina Jolie IS Lara Croft.
For a robot that mixes practical with early 2000's cgi, it holds up impressively well. part of that is the lighting I'm sure, but it goes to show how well they shot this scene.
Pretty much all the old school CGI and machinery they used (especially the planetarium) were totally nailed, imo. The planetarium scene also was done absurdly right and they hadn’t a second shot at it, since they literally blew up and flooded the whole stage
@@nicolarighetto3767 If I remember correctly, and this is like, 16 years ago, they even said the Planetarium was moving at full speed the entire time, if the crew weren't careful, someone absolutely could have gotten hurt or worse.
The part were they stand off and she loads her last magazine and the music breaks down and gears back up before they start again......chills. They don't make'em like this no more.
Her traditional outfit since the beginning was the powder blue tank and khaki shorts. Her first wardrobe addition was her bomber jacket. After that it quickly became Dress-Me-Up Lara.
@@Ridley_Lockhart So did I. The one in AoD is my favourite, though. But Angelina Jolie looked even better. Her long legs, wide hips and huge breasts, really embodied the physical aspects of the character,
0:27 that was the shadow I first saw when I walked into my mom's room, her telling me Tomb Raider was on. That was the first time I saw it and that shadow matched so perfectly! Angelina Jolie became my favorite Actress because of this movie.
That's because they hardly used CGI except for Simon, Time Storms, moving Statues, and stuff like that. The rest were real. (behind the scenes explains better)
seeing this when I was 6 blew me away. Still to this day, the Laura vs Statues fight scene, the Laura vs Mercenaries (Mansion raid) chapter, and the opening Simon battle remains the coolest spectacle of Practical effects, Choreographics, tasteful CG, and high tier usage of 'video game mechanic concepts' I will have ever seen in any media. It is what solidifies this movie as being one of the only good Videogame To Movie adaptations ever created. Im still inspired to create a training room where I can fight a robot like simon since it seems the most appropriate use of wealth ever. Clearly whoever directed this movie was a total gamer at heart and truly understood the feeling of playing the early playstation tombraider videogames. Even though I was a boy, I WANTED TO BE the character of laura croft, and i'd rewatch this movie any time i got the chance. It helped me get into Drum & Bass thanks to the use of Outkasts' Speedballin as the end objective of this training scene. and deepened my appreciation for action puzzles, destructable map props, map hazards, and made me strongly critique any game or media where such tools of combat were not present. (I wanted to see protagonists match a fraction of Laura's resourcefulness) and as a result whenever i played a game where I couldnt shoot ropes or columns to get something to hit an enemy or cause a part of the map puzzle to open up, I wondered if the developer was just a boring person who hated fun. This movie also set a high bar for female action protags, and makes Black Widow look like a chump. Oh. and Simon would obliterate episode 3 general grievous. Gendy Tartakovsky Grievous may be a valid contender though. If Anita Sarkesian is going to whine about Laura Croft especially the protag played by Angelina, she can go get humbled by the fact that Anita herself is the polar opposite of a likeable person that iether sexes could resonate with.
That's because people complained about how cheezy this film is. People wanted this film to have the same on-the-edge-of-your-seat adventure like Indiana Jones. I guess you can't please everyone no matter which direction you take. 😒
With Angelina Jolie getting back to her acting career and filming Maleficent Mistress of evil I think that a new and better Lara Croft movie about the original games would be even better
OH! I Couldn't agree More! We need Lara Croft: Tomb Raider 3. I don't care that the last was in 2003. Let's make it happen. Timing couldn't be more perfect
Richard Lucero Angelina right know cannot play a role like this anymore, she is a great actress yes but this type of movies need a good shape excersise....
The 2nd Tomb Raider movie didn't do well enough(which is ironic because I thought it was better then the first movie) so it's why Jolie was never asked back to do a third movie. But now after many years later they rebooted the movie series and got a different actress to play Lora Croft.
angelina is the real lara croft.....i am sad....the new tomb raider 2014 is a jung lara croft so....not with angelina...she is to old ;) but i am sure ...angelina will be the one one...the chosen one ^^
Angelina was so damn fine in this movie. To me they may not have been the best tomb raider movies. But she had Lara croft down pat. How she reloads the guns still never seen anything resemble that till this day.
I tried to style my hair in the way, so two strands would be out like here but failed every time time, because mine are wavy and it looked stupid af XD
this scene has aged well and is still more entertaining than some recent blockbusters action scenes, because of the good balance between practical effects and CGI. With only CGI everywhere (and garish colors) even with good quality, it limitates the realism and the immersion
This entire film was also filmed using an old film camera, instead of a digital camera. This has a more grainy feeling, which feels very natural, in comparison to films using a digital camera, as they feel fake.
For a fun action/adventure movie, idk why this movie was so harped on. Jolie killed it as Lara and I can't think of anyone who could've done it better.

Still, she didn't perform the famous jump forward + flip-twist move to get the bad guy from behind. *sighs* 😆
All it needed was a HUD, and it WAS the video game! XD
This fight sequence inspired my entire childhood to be an epic adventure.
+Jeff Munoz ewww no thanks
+Jeff Munoz Nothing thanks ;)
It inspired my LIFE to be an adventure :D
Neopets
That fight sequence was the beginning of the end of my childhood. There have been better Hollywood blockbusters than this, but they were never as fun as they were back in pre 2001
My favorite childhood movie. I had it on a DVD and would always watch it. Lara was my hero.
My father had it on VHS and now he has it on DVD
I also have it on DVD and Blu-ray as well
Same
she plays lara perfectly
Kass Liddell yeah so hardcore
For real, by far the best
Angelina nailed it with the 90s & 2000 version of Lara.
Yes.
Yeah definitely brother angelina jolie is the best Tomb raider in the classic tomb raiders
OMG, she has so much personality in this movie.
Quite often I've said movies based on videogames are never done right.

Girls _and boys_ wanted to be Lara Croft when they were younger. Admit it.
Hell yeah I wanted to be Lara Croft! LOL
I still wanna be.
hey Alice ( from Resident Evil ) too you know
The Isaiahnator VERY TRU, IM A GUY AND I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE LARA CROFT
YUP I WANTED TO BE ALICE AND LARA AND IM A DUDE 😁
Lara's party mix is fire
This is the true Lara
The end scene with him being scared by the robot still makes me laugh
Happy 20th Anniversary, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (Released June 15, 2001).
I can see a lot of inspiration for the layout of Croft Manor from the Tomb Raider Legend timeline that came from these movies.
Angelina is on fire in this movie. Banger of a soundtrack too. 🔥
Loved this film. She was perfect for Lara’s role and it brought all my play station 1 fantasies to life.
3:30 I remember the whole theater bursting into applause and going whew!
In case anyone's curious, The Song "Absurd" or rather a highly edited instrumental version of Absurd is playing when SIMON is active.
Taraka1 Specifically - Whitewash edition. Yeah, we all read the back of the OST case, many, many years ago.
Its absurd by fluke but there are parts that sound like its a remix of it
Let’s face it, all the true fans watched this movie for one reason: Arnold Rimmer of Red Dwarf as the Butler.
This opening of the movie was great! :)
I had my hair braided with two strands out for years after this movie came out lol
some decades later.... this is definitely an omage of robo v cain bro
I saw this on Blu-ray a few years ago and it was hardcore!
Heckler & Koch 9 mm USP Match. The most beautiful pistol in the world
Amen! I hope to own a pair of them some day. LOL.
I would've used a .45.
1:15 to 1:49 badass as hell, damn that was some crazy shot right there
The part were they stand off and she loads her last magazine and the music breaks down and gears back up before they start again......chills. They don't make'em like this no more.
She IS Lara Croft! Lara croft was made for Angelina Jolie!
i like lara better then indiana jones
She is better
@@widowspyeye yeah she is
@Gunnar Carlson so true lol he would just shoot her with his gun
Angelina Jolie plays the character quite well. I really enjoyed this movie as a kid.
More time has passed between the release of this movie and today, than did between the release of the first movie and the first GAME.
She should wear this outfit the entire movie. Coz it's her trademark.
Her traditional outfit since the beginning was the powder blue tank and khaki shorts. Her first wardrobe addition was her bomber jacket. After that it quickly became Dress-Me-Up Lara.
This outfit influenced the one in Angel of Darkness.
@@gilgamesh310 ..and eye shadow. She wore mascara in AoD, lol
@@gilgamesh310 I never played Angel Of Darkness. But I did like her attire in Underworld.
@@Ridley_Lockhart So did I. The one in AoD is my favourite, though. But Angelina Jolie looked even better. Her long legs, wide hips and huge breasts, really embodied the physical aspects of the character,
I really loved her hair and outfit in this scene
Lol as a kid after watching this scene, she had me rolling around backwards in my living room trying to do this crap
0:27 that was the shadow I first saw when I walked into my mom's room, her telling me Tomb Raider was on. That was the first time I saw it and that shadow matched so perfectly! Angelina Jolie became my favorite Actress because of this movie.
same
I love the callback to the old games there.
The stance, the slow walkup?
Felt like the start of one of the missions.
Her guns are everything..

Shame the second film treated itself waaaay too serious.
Yup. Second movie was disappointing. And the new one is crap.
@@lucasp1813 what new one?
@@Zichir0 Tomb Raider (2018)

@@lucasp1813 I liked the second movie and the new one was just like the 2013 game
We speedballin, ballin ballin ballin ballin ballin' - ooh yeaaah :D
Wonder how much OutKast was paid for this lol
These are very good movies I love these I’ve seen him so many times
Great action scene
I watched this scene so many times as a kid. Sad SIMON has still never made an appearance in any of the games....
Love the editing between 1:27 and 1:35
Lol, I was looking for this clip for a long time. Good quality, nice volume, great post!
With Angelina Jolie getting back to her acting career and filming Maleficent Mistress of evil I think that a new and better Lara Croft movie about the original games would be even better
OH! I Couldn't agree More! We need Lara Croft: Tomb Raider 3. I don't care that the last was in 2003. Let's make it happen. Timing couldn't be more perfect
"Hmmm, hence the live fire" love that line haha
The robots are the replacements after the butler was locked in the freezer
Lara Croft is more of a bounty\treasure hunter then a archaeologist
That's like Indiana Jones and Nathan Drake
I don't know why this film's reviews were so negative. She does it incredibly well and the plot wasn't so bad at all.
They got the butler wrong.........
... he's a total smeg head.
my favorite video game heroine fearless, aggressive, beautiful and dangerous
My uncle sent us some VFX shots of this scene even tho he wasn't allowed to haha
I was 6 when I watched this movie... Had a crush on her ever since... I'm 27 now and I watched this again yesterday.... Now I'm 6 again... 😂
On the making of they say this whole scene took two weeks to be done.
I wish they would do another "Tombraider" movie, Angie is still the perfect "Lora Croft!
Richard Lucero Angelina right know cannot play a role like this anymore, she is a great actress yes but this type of movies need a good shape excersise....

Excellent video, thanks
Absurd - Fluke
awesome scene old films are legend
This Movie Is better Than 2018 Version, Bro!
So Rimmer is a Butler to Lara Croft.
3:56- STOP!
I didn't know there were E.M.M.I.'s in Tomb Raider
“Was it programmed to stop before it took my head off?”
Boston Dynamics in a few more years XD
Only she can play lara croft , nobody else will ever come close
does anyone know the of the song at start of Lara s party mix
@the ps4 gamer wi fi boy Speedballin by Outkast
whats the song that playes at the Laras Party Mix called?
Speedballin by OutKast
Who here remembers what they were doing in life when this came out? I was with my dad. Happy fathers day
I watched it in theaters with my mom. I asked her to come along
Super cinematic filming
angelina is the real lara croft.....i am sad....the new tomb raider 2014 is a jung lara croft so....not with angelina...she is to old ;) but i am sure ...angelina will be the one one...the chosen one ^^

Nice legs
LARA CROFT. VS . SIMON

LARA'S PARTY MIX SPEEDIN ' BY OUTKAST
This fight give me goosebumps every FUCKN time
I tried to style my hair in the way, so two strands would be out like here but failed every time time, because mine are wavy and it looked stupid af XD
If I could french braid my own hair, I'd give it a shot. It looks like two french braids that weave into one.
I want that holster for airsofting
😌...🖤
Have blessed day everyone🙋🏾♀️
Why couldnt I have been born L.C.??????
what's the name of that song that plays when she's pulling simon too that guy?
Luffymon88 Speedballin' by Outkast. The first hit you get on youtube is - you guessed it - related with TR OST.
i never mind see the lara´s movie manor in the game!
I love Angelina's rendition of Lara Croft in this and the last movie Angelina oozes sex appeal.
I have this video game of Tomb Raider on ps1
Angelina Jolie played lara croft perfectly. Not much for Alisha Vikander.
Lara loves Drum'n'bass. SHUT UP AND TAKE ME.
Angelina Jolie The Best Actions....
After the first time I saw this movie, I had no idea that she wasn't british
5:09 "Poor Simon. What has she done to you?"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You’re the one who created the drone that nearly killed her.
lara is probably the one who injected a kill lara command
@@lyndongamingthis isn’t to far off 💀. She kept asking for more of a challenge 😂

Annnnnddddd this is the scene that made me realize that I indeed, liked girls too.
Hmm... Live Rounds again.
Angelina Jolie only accepted wearing shorts in this scene. In the rest of the film she wear pants. The same happens on the second movie.
Mr Brittas serves Lara Croft don’t see it myself
Lara Croft : Was it programmed to stop before it took my head off?
Bryce : Ah, well... that would be a... no.
What is the song in the end after the training?
Outkast Speedballin` :) Pretty good tune ;)
epic fight sequence!
For a fun action/adventure movie, idk why this movie was so harped on. Jolie killed it as Lara and I can't think of anyone who could've done it better.
Poor Simon. Lol that really cracked me up when I first saw this. I can't believe he named his toy that.
This was probably the best and only good videogame adaptation
Don’t forget MK 95 and Sonic!
