          I liked her acting, or are you saying a female lead is bad to begin with? The plot was about summoning a demon, there wasn't a witch hunt the previous girl they tried to kill made a deal with a debbil to murderslay them all. What's wrong with PHT? Just him being there? Maybe if James wasn't such a lame homosexual people wouldn't steal his mind demons. Literally nothing wrong with the ash, it was /aesthetic/ and truer to life than "the ps1 can't handle our graphics so make it foggy".

          I dunno. You wouldn't happen to be a super big fan of like, the first 3 games or something? Would you?

          don't bother normies would have had a shit fit if the main character was a dad trying to protect his daughter like the game had it - oh wait, Logan and movies like that are MASSIVE now
          but they definitely would have hated that instead of making it about christcucks raping little girls it would've been about some borderline satanist death cult - oh wait, US was mostly christian back then and would've been more into the bad guys being a cult
          but surely they would've hated not having the big mascot pyramid head from a completely different story - oh, wait, that's the BIGGEST complaint anyone levels at the movie
          the reason why normalfreaks pretend to like this movie will forever elude me

          That new Tomb Raider, it looked like it was exactly like the reboot game plot wise, so what's even the point of that? Majority of "games" are just interactive cinematics with most of the film tropes as well as video game tropes.

    Because video games are designed around gameplay, not narratives or cinematography. If you remove the gameplay and interactive elements, what you're left with is a shitty movie with boring non-characters.

              Because it was less Monster Hunter and more just Paul W.S. Anderson jerking off his wife in a shitty isekai movie. The animated one on Netflix is a better adaptation of the source material even if it looked like a PS2 cutscene.
