Lara Croft: Tomb Raider really said screw that and decided that none of the stunts in this movie needed to look realistic. But at least most movies try to make it look like they’re a little realistic or doable by the average slightly athletic person. In fact, a good majority of them are done with wires, harnesses, and CGI. Look, I know not all stunts are real in movies. On another note, a fun game I like to play with every Daniel Craig movie is, “Will Daniel Craig get naked or not for this movie?” More often than not, the answer is yes, he will get naked.

There’s also no reason for this but I guess it makes sure the female audience is watching as well. We also get a completely naked Daniel Craig (obscured by various props/scenery) terrifying poor hotel workers. But, was it necessary to give us the odd sideboob at the beginning of the movie? Was director Simon West afraid we wouldn’t stay for the rest of the movie if we didn’t have a little tasteful sideboob? I can assure you that I was hooked from the moment Lara pulled out her Party Mix CD in the middle of a fight.Īnd that’s not all the nudity we get in this movie. While there is no actual nudity in this movie, there’s quite a bit of teasing and I really don’t know why. And none of the loose ends are really tied up at the end. Conflict seems to be resolved quite easily. Lara Croft is like the epitome of a guilty pleasure movie. The Illuminati plays a big role in the plot and also Daniel Craig is there for some reason? And there are also magic monks in Cambodia in what looks like the set of Apocalypse Now? Seriously, what is up with Lara Croft: Tomb Raider? It is the most insane movie at times and for really no good reason.
