I know CD are mainly American and they want to cater to the bigger audience but they should still at least try and put in a more British feel to it seeing as the character is British (although admittedly with a strong American accent :rolleyes:) I think Lara just loses her originality when they Americanise her so much.

It does massively suck that TR's so ridiculously American and Hollywood, yeah. :(

The first movie was kinda meh but the second was awesome, except the fact that they whore-ified Lara a bit but it's Hollywood, it was to be expected, really.

How did they whore-ify her?

You're about the only person (beyond me) who thinks that Cradle is better than the original. Respect :cool:

I prefer CoL. Can I have your respect now, so I have a reason to keep breathing?

Sorry, LNSNHGTDS was first :ohn:
If there's any respect left over, you can have that ;)

The sex scene, I know that Lara pushes herself to the limit to get what she wants but that was too much! She had never done anything similar before.

Both movies suck, but in Cof, there's a least some variety of great locations, so I also prefer the second one. :D

I liked that, and it was hardly a proper sex scene. To me it was as if she genuinely wanted to snog him, and part of her relaxed and enjoyed that for a bit.

Human beings tend to have sex. It doesn't make them whores.

Yes, but she didn't have sex just to have sex, she had sex to get what she wanted, which makes her a whore or at least slut :wve: and that's what I didn't like.

As I say I think there was real affection in it, and I thought it was kinda cool how Lara suddenly handcuffed him.

Maybe there was (though I think there wasn't) but even so it shouldn't, Lara is Lara, she's not allowed to have any kind of romantic relationship :p !
