![]() ![]() For what it’s worth, the sequel, Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (otherwise known as Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Case Of The Magical Moving Colon), belongs in this category. Lara Croft’s film debut launched during the era of the bad video game movies though, when films like BloodRayne, Alone in the Dark, Hitman, Doom, and Max Payne would have been better off being released into a garbage dump than a cinema, and this has long stained its reputation. Video game movies have turned it around recently, with Sonic the Hedgehog, Detective Pikachu, and Mortal Kombat helping buck the trend of box office bombs. This week marks the 20th anniversary of Lara Croft: Tomb Raider hitting cinemas, which is as good a time as any to look back on its legacy.
