    That's a shame, she could have been really good. Though I guess it would have been too easy for critics to compare her Lara to Rey.

    As for Alicia Vikander....well......yeah.

    From that article:

    "Perhaps Ridley decided that being one badass with an accent who spends a lot of time in deserts and temples was enough for her?"

    Um, she has no accent?

    If there were lots of saber twirls, and she couldn't act, I'd agree.

    Well, if it's gonna be Vikander, they had better do those movies right. I would love to see Vikander as a female Indiana Jones-esque hero. That would be great. But if they suck, I will not be happy.

    The thing is, the two Tomb Raider films to date were bad not just because of Angelina but because of the writing and direction too. Essentially, everything that makes a video game film bad. It's on this basis that I believe a Half Life film would be nothing more than an uninspired Die Hard clone with aliens.

    He said there was something beautiful about them. That could have been the special effects. Prequel fans, who have no taste (except arguably for the Holocaust and altar boys), cling to his hoping their terrible choices will be vindicated going forward.

    Why anyone would want Episode VIII to feel like it's suffering a stroke or some form of hefty mental disability is beyond me. Can prequel fans just devote their attention to defending the crimes in Spotlight or some other unspeakable evil instead?

    No they're basically a crime against humanity. Rape of Nanjing level.

    Considering she's supposed to be handling and fighting with a nearly weightless blade, that's as good a kata as any. No excessive PT twirling and flourishes as far as I'm concerned.
