Tomb Raider trapped


People use this term to say "I wonder if this film will be the latest victim of what I like to call the 'Tomb Raider Trap'. This is when your first film makes a lot of money despite being a film that no one liked and you just can't win, even if you make a better film than the original.

People will still remember that they didn't like the previous entry and they won't even sample the next chapter. Tomb Raider: Cradle Of Life was a far superior film to the original Tomb Raider, a real flesh and blood, stunts and dirt adventure film. Yet it did just half the domestic business."

The problem I have with the term "Tomb Raider trapped" is that I didn't think Cradle of Life was a better movie. The premise of it is boring and unlike the games. We want something like the games.
