When new evidence comes into her hands about her father’s disappearance, Lara does the exact opposite of the instructions on the evidence (dear daughter, please destroy this box of papers they must not get into the wrong hands) and decides to follow the papers to an obscure island where, inevitably, the papers fall into the wrong hands and the ‘rescue attempt’ becomes a massive catastrophe. She spends most of her time riding through the streets of London on a two-wheeler. She is now 21 and has forsaken her family fortune, choosing instead to work for a messenger bike company. Lara Croft is the daughter of an eccentric adventurer who went missing in her youth. What a perfect fit! I was thrilled to see what she would do with the role. 1 but badass, killer on-screen-queen and heroine of one of my favorite films of the past 10 years ( Ex Machina), Alicia Vikander. With these joyous reminiscent feelings still in my head, I turned my eye to the reboot of Tomb Raider and the woman who was to follow in Jolie’s footsteps. I mean, come on? That’s some fab, popcorn action right there. Angelina Jolie was a mega badass in those films and they were just great fun to watch, especially when she punches a shark and rides his dorsal fin to the surface in the second film. Say what you want about the original Tomb Raider films but I loved them.
