Tr2 Sucked!!!

[Mr. Croft]

I tottaly loved the first movie, but the second one sucked big time for me. Why did Lara acted like a bi@~% to her partners? What did the movie plot had to do with the games? Why did the guys that made this film ripped off the best things from the first movie?

The answer to all questions: marketability and profits! The movie plot wasn't intended to sell to gamers; we're small fries to movie studios. To them, the real money is in the non-fan casual mainstream audiences, which is why so many game-based movies are so different from the games and offer very little "fan service."

99% of game-based movies flop faster than a movie with Madonna in it, and the first TR movie did at least make decent earnings. Considering the atmosphere at theaters for game-based movies, they're lucky to even have made any money off of the first one, and were pushing their luck with a second one.
