Might as well have cast a man as Lora Croft..


I respect Alicia's hard work and effort into this movie but the truth is she didn't have the tomb Raider(Lora Croft) body..

Whilst I agree, this movie was based on the 2013 video game not the original 96 Tomb Raider, Lara's a lot more slim line in the new games and whiny too, still fun games, yet the movie is nowhere near as good.

Actually, I just watched someone play TR 2013. She is not boyish at all. She still has a very feminine body and quite big boobs in TR2013. I don't think she is any different body wise from the old games, except they made her look realistic instead of the cartoon character she was previously. So her features aren't unrealistically exaggerated, but she still has a similar body as before, just more realistic proportioned.

Not that it matters, but Vikander doesn't actually look like, or have similar features or body, as the TR2013 model.
