I know it’s kind of early in her career to award her this, but she accomplished more in this 1 movie than Angelina Jolie and Mila Jovovich did in their entire careers.
Compared to nobodies like Mila Jovovich and to some extent Angelina Jolie perhaps that's true. What about true female action stars like Sigourney Weaver? Since when making one bad action movie makes you an action star?
Weaver could barely run in Aliens, let alone jump or swing on objects. Vikander was in such good shape for Tomb Raider that it’s pretty obvious while watching the movie that no other Hollywood actress could’ve pulled it off.
Linda Hamilton couldn’t even ride a bike from what I’ve heard, let that sink in for a moment.
The very fact you point out that Schwarzenegger used a stunt double kind of proves that doing stunts has very little to do with being an action star, don't you think?
Lep, the difference between them is that Weaver was an actual STAR. Vikander is nothing, it doesn't matter how physically fit she was. This movie and its lack of success really cements this, she is not an action star at all.
I am thinking you have not seen many movies, though I have not see this film yet so we will see. Jolie has never been very convincing, so I never classified her as an action star.
She did pack on 15 pounds of muscle for this role, or would you rather she just pack on some more weight in general? I prefer my chicks to look healthy and be able to ride bikes, hence why I think Vikander has the perfect female body.
how would you even know this, Lep? Funny thing is that it does not require watching the movie to comment on your absurd OP.
"The best female action star of all times" is hyperbolic and subjective already; now your reasoning is because Vik already "achieved" more than Joli or Mila in their careers? Even if that was correct, it's a blatant non sequitur assuming that those three were the only female action stars of all time. And oh yes, "it's the truth boys and girls".
Yikes, you should work on your trolling. I recommend "Trolling for Dummies", 3rd edition. Now there is a thought.
So you haven’t even seen the movie? Thank you for confirming that you’re in fact a troll.
“How would you even know this?”
Hmmmm well I’ve seen over 100 action movies with a female lead and determined which of those is the “best”. Not really rocket science, maybe you should read “Teaching basic logic to children” fifth edition.
You should really take your own advice and go see the movie, it’s kind of pointless to troll a movie you’ve never even seen don’t ya think? Maybe just stick with your favorite movie ‘Tristan and Isolde’? Now run along sport, fans of Tomb Raider are trying to discuss things, go on....
Eleven days and counting. Don’t see any discussing going on. And “over 100 action films starring women” is a survey size smaller than your range of thought.
