I used to like TR1 and TR2. TR3 got me bored, and after Indy I don't think I'll ever buy the TR games anymore, I'll just wait for IM sequel(s). :) The main reason why started to dislike Croft is because they quickly began turning her into a dumb Pamela Anderson-like bimbo whose enormous... erm, weaponry... are her main virtue... (and the attempts to make her appear "intelligent" were as convincing as a cheap toupe on a bald guy...).
Anyway, I think the movie will be terrible - something like: "Playboy meets Mortal Kombat the movie in locations ripped from Indy". That's waht usually happens when they try to make a movie based on a game - mostly because they hire talentless writers, or because the original game's script was too weak to be adapted. (I still wish they made a movie based on the thrillin "Realms of the Haunting"... this was a game script practically ready for a good movie conversion...)
