I don't think the old live action was bad at all, really. It's not a masterpiece, but it's pretty competent. The cartoon, however, is genuinely awful.
That shark thing must have been in the second one. I only saw the first. Or maybe it's in both. I don't remember the movie well.
The new one did a good job representing new TR games ... it's just that it more or less revealed how standard the overall plot is without the "in Lara's head" parts of the games.
