April 7, 20187 yr I haven't even watched the originals with Angelina Jolie besides bits and pieces. From what I seen Jolie did a decent job. I love the original games on the PS1.
April 25, 20187 yr Finally saw it last night, 'twas watchable but not what I'd call good. Alicia Vikander did a commendable job with what she was given and has good emotional range, it just felt somewhat wasted in an otherwise mediocre story. There's a chance, if the movie makes its money back, that we may see a stronger sequel. There are different strengths in different media of course, but it would seem that Hollywood is still mostly clueless on how to take a genuinely good video game and turn it into a genuinely good movie. For some reason they can do it with books, but not games. Perhaps one of these days, the right director will come along and work it out.
