Watching Tomb Raider LOL

Daniel Craig stars in it (this was back in his character actor days) and not only is he unbelievably scrawny compared to how bulked-up he is today (seriously, he's like a stick figure), but that thing of women sounding sexier with British accents? Works both ways. He's like a charisma-void with an American accent. It's really disquieting.
And of course, Lara Croft is British, so they let her do a British accent. Look, Hollywood guys, stop making British people do American accents. It never helps the sexy. Please, think of the sexy.
And Daniel Craig dies by drowning in front of his love interest’s eyes. Ever seen Casino Royale? LOL.
God, the story is a mess. Lara's father says she can’t change time, then in the very next scene she does just that to save Daniel Craig. Okay, so all of us would save Daniel Craig over Jon Voight, but still…
Angelina Jolie is having enough fun that it's watchable in a Baywatch kinda way (there's Daniel Craig fanservice too, don't you worry), but damn. And they made two of these? And both of them center around the male love interests betraying Lara in some way? Like that'd ever happen.
Lara: I'm rich, a heroine, and I look like Angelina Jolie. Wanna go out for coffee?
Dude: I'm gonna betray you for money!
Dude, money can't buy you Angelina Jolie.

And if you pay attention, both men are her ex-boyfriends. They broke up with British Buxom Angelina Jolie.
Actually, I don't think the Craig guy ever really betrayed her in the first place.
