LOL first of all tisoy is way too proud of those huge Tomb Raider pictures he just got from the Tomb Raider website. Second of all the games all kick ass. I hated the movie and I'm hoping the second one is a lot better. Not that I don't enjoy the character, I even have the Tomb Raider poster, rolled up in my closet. Also, 8 Mile was a great movie and i think Eminem did a surprisingly awesome job in it, as well as the rest of the cast... Tomb Raider's acting or plot don't hold a candle to that movie. Lastly, sorry Tisoy I turned those huge pictures into links, since we've all seen them about 700 times now and they were totally messing up the formatting of this thread. I had to scroll to the right about 4 times just to read my last reply.
OK so both had bad writing and bad acting. Other than Eminem who exactly did brilliantly in 8 mile? Tomb Raider was written a lot worse admittedly but it had one major factor in it's favour. It was supposed to be dumb.:big grin:
8 Mile attempted deep interlectual stuff, and failed due to the fact that it told the same story from every other underdog tale ever. It had characters we have see billions of times before, and only one really good actor. I also suspect that I liked Eminems performance so much only because my expectations were so low. 8 Mile doesn't hold a candle to The Hustler the greatest underdog movie of them all.:big grin:

I believe it was the Digital Rich that started the comparison, so I decided to indulge you all.
8 Mile is a very well-made film... given it is quite predictable, since it's been sent through the Hollywood Rocky/Purple Rain cliche machine. Eminem has great screen presence, and it doesn't stop there, since the supporting cast is GREAT, I don't care what you guys say... especially Mekhi Pfieffer. Also given, I don't see Eminem being able to play anything else besides an inner-city white rapper... which happens to be what he is. This movie is an intelligent crowd pleaser and a great movie. It's not trying to cover "interlectual" stuff (did I spell that right? ) it's just trying to be a solid film with a feel-good story.
Now Tomb Raider... you can say ohh it's supposed to be a stupid action flick with a chick kicking some ass... I have no problem with that... but only if it's a GOOD stupid action movie... this one actually tries, and fails. The story isn't anywhere near interesting and even this script could've been saved with some good acting... which didn't happen. Angelina Jolie basically phoned in her lines, trying way too hard to be a complex intelligent British-esque character, instead of actually adding some depth to the character... which no, her stuffed sports bra didn't make up for. Sorry but this is as bad as it gets guys. Given, she looked like the video game character, which doesn't say much for a movie.Last edited by Shrubz; 02-22-2003 at 09:39 PM.

why does every joke thread or OFF TOPIC thread end up a movie thread or debate...... guys stop it.. there are more things to talk in life than just comparing movies.....
i intended this thread as an "enjoy" your weekend thread.. not as a 8 mile thread...... c'mon...
so hows your weekend so far? mine has been the most exciting since the BIGFOOT monster

Geez... this board is for discussion of movies and that will many times lead to the comparison of different movies, no matter how strange the comparison. And yeah, lots of times threads end up off topic... it's called the flow of discussion... so what.
