Agreed, the comparison isn't even fair - I discovered there was a 2018 version by accident while looking for the original to stream and was like - you can't be serious, they remade a masterpiece? No disrespect to any of the actors in the 2018 version, they were just outclassed by superior skill, scripting, and performance all around - not even close as opposed to JoBlo's assessment which tried to make it close - objective viewers know it wasn't even close. (Let's be completely honest here, Vikander and Jolie, while both gorgeous ion the own right, only one of them carry enough of the goods the original game character was naturally endowed with. (Was that tactful?)
Personal favorite though is the classic Tomb Raider films. Jolie did FAR better portraying Lara Croft as she had fantastic help from the script that Core Design (the creators of the first 9 tomb raider games 1996-2003) had to approve. She captured classic lara in a way no one else could. The reboot was sort of messy as Alicia loves the classic movie so much but didn’t really understand she had to portray Survivor Lara, although it’s cool we got sort of a blend of classic and survivor with Alicia, the classic games aren’t what the 2018 film is based off of. Also the classic TR film captured everything tomb raider is suppose to be about, adventure, fantasy, escapism. Tomb raider was never created to be “grounded” or “relatable” Lara is suppose to be a superhero like figure who many look up to and WANT TO BE. Their are only 3 out of 20 games of TR that want “realism.” “Realism” isn’t what made tomb Raider the iconic, best selling video game franchise with a female lead that it is.
For what it's worth, Angelina embodied classic Lara in every way. (In my opinion) I liked Alicia's performance too, she's fine, and she does her best. I think it's more the way of the typical potential apocalypse schlock that they implemented into the newer film, which is not a remake. It's based on Lara from the survivor timeline.
Just to make everyone aware Tomb Raider (2018) with Alicia Vikander isn’t a remake. It’s a reboot based on the survivor timeline Angelina Jolie’s Tomb Raider is based on the first 9 games by core design. They play two TOTALLY different Lara’s
@@SethMcKenzieTV they did one gameboy color game (: and had another company do the other two gameboy games! Which bring the total games to 9! Hope this helps 💖 (look up tomb raider gameboy, tomb Raider curse of the sword, and tomb Raider the prophecy) this is really impressive to because thats 9 games in 8 years
@@SethMcKenzieTV it deleted my links but I tried to like you to each game lollll. That’s why also I was a bit disappointed the anniversary didn’t give new covers for the 3 gameboy games ):! (Also Lara Croft go and relic run what the hell loll.).
Easily 2018. Alicia Vikander not only captured the Lara from the reboot trilogy, but she gave Lara emotional weight and dimension. Lara went from down on her luck, to the Tomb Raider over the course of the film. It obviously helps that Alicia is leagues superior than Angelina as an actor. The film itself was grounded compared to the reboot games which were insane, but that worked for me. Lara got in 7 direct kills, the action sequences were a great showcase of Alicia's athlestism and physicality and we even get some Last Crusade influence in there for good measure. Oh, and even though it was small scale, the bicycle chase at the beginning was wonderfully shot in a similar style of the Indiana Jones chases. Very smooth with great wide shots. Speaking of Indiana Jones, Tomb Raider 2018 is without a doubt the best action adventure since Last Crusade. This, and the original Indiana Jones trilogy are top tier. Never cared for National Treasure, Mummy, Jungle Cruise and the piece of shit Uncharted movie (that is rightfully getting torn apart). Hope Tomb Raider 2 is announced soon. We need it alongside Indiana Jones 5 in 2023 to show every modern action garbage how it's done.
I think one of the main problems with the last reboot was the story lacked originality and just wasn't written very well. The entire story was ripped from the 1st game of the latest video game reboot. They changed the dad story and some minor plot stuff and that's it.
The reboot movie is close to the reboot game while Jolie’s tomb raider is based on the first 9 tomb raider games (:! The two films are based on two TOTALLY different Lara’s
You mean a toothpick with boobs and a flat ass ( you know damn well they stuffed Jolie's shorts with butt padding and she still had a scrawny ass) vs a toothpick with a 6 pack and looks like she can fight, run, perform all those crazy feats of athletism... Since you wanted to go there....
Jolie perfectly captured classic Lara and is my favorite version hands down.

Alicia was meh to me imo. Angelina Jolie will forever be the ultimate Lara Croft portrayal 💯💯💯

The 2018 isn't a remake in any capacity...
Always Angelina Jolie, she WAS Lara Croft, she even looked like her.

Core design only did 6 😝

worthy winner 👍
Great video!
Nice work!
Remake is better
the 2018 version was an entertaining movie. With that said, ANGELINE JOLIE IS LAURA CROFT!!!!!
For f**k sake it's Lara not Laura.
Remake felt closer to the games
The reboot movie is close to the reboot game while Jolie’s tomb raider is based on the first 9 tomb raider games (:! The two films are based on two TOTALLY different Lara’s
In other words Tomb Raider vs a Tooth Pick,
You mean a toothpick with boobs and a flat ass ( you know damn well they stuffed Jolie's shorts with butt padding and she still had a scrawny ass) vs a toothpick with a 6 pack and looks like she can fight, run, perform all those crazy feats of athletism...
Since you wanted to go there....
The new Tom Raider is better than the original in every way. You love the first one for nostalgia alone (and sexiness of Angelina)
😥 Promo'SM.
The Lara Croft in the new Movie looks more like harry potters girlfriend then lara croft.
