Not having seen any of the movies, I wont judge any of them just yet.
Tomb Raider isn't that bad. I played Tomb Raider II, it was an alright game. The production of game after game, after game with little improvement in each new installment is what made the series a laughing stock. It started good but stumbled into a pile of crap.
As for the movie, I saw the trailer at the cinema the other day. It looks very good, and Angelina Jolie is a very serious actress, so it will be interesting to see how a film with such acclaimed actors goes.
I have to disagree with your evaluation of human actors versus complete CG. Acting and directing are arts themselves, I believe they are just as good, or rather better than complete Computer Generation. Toy Story, Antz and A Bugs Life are a few movies that spring to mind when I think of CG, all which create a static, artificial atmosphere. They can't be compared to, say, The Deliverance, Silence of the Lambs, etc. No doubt with Oddworld Inhabitants' talent the same wont ring true when they produce their movies.. but my point is that CG doesn't necesarily equal good, even if the story started with CG.
I don't think it matters what medium a film is made in, it just depends on how it's crafted.
