TOMB RAIDER was pretty damn true to the games SNAKE !
my friend is a complete fan of the series...
he has 1 thru 5 and completed them all...
too bad he cannot have the sixth one since he doesn't have a PS2.
but anyway... he said that it was pretty damn good and true to the games !

but like i said...
STORY LEAKS happen in all movies...
his father is the worst...
the hotel thing was true, her life was true, her training IS true... in game it only show basics, normal that in a movie we see better things then basics. don't you think ? the kind of trap and the kind of mystery was true to the games...

OVERALL... TOMB RAIDER was one of the few movies that was actually up to the quality of the games !

really... it all depends on who is making the movies anyway... if they share the same visions as the original creator... then and only then the movie will be good !

for my part, too much games were sold just for the fun of making money... by bothching the movie, they ruined the games reputation !

even the resident evil movie was horrible !
the zombies, lickers were greatly made, true and exactly like the series... but story wise, it was plain horrible !
