Tomb Raider Delivers!
Tomb Raider's fantastic fighting sequences, creative and striking sets (as well as on-location shots), and the casting of Angelina Jolie as Lady Lara Croft are the blaringly obvious reasons this movie should be the next one you trot into a theatre to watch. The soundtrack is what keeps you hanging on the edge of your seat, however. There is a plot, of course, but don't be too worried about finding hidden meaning in it: the Clock of Ages leads to the halves of a triangle which, when connected (with a little more help from the Clock of Ages), allow the holder to control time. Good guys fight bad guys, but in this case the good guy wears a lot of black as well, and bobs her head to Outkast. As I said before, the music and Jolie are what make this movie fantastic. Watching Lara Croft run, jump, and shoot to fantastic songs by the likes of Moby, Nine Inch Nails, and Groove Armada make buying the soundtrack just as worthwhile as seeing the film!...

3 star movie, 5 star package
LARA CROFT: TOMB RAIDER as just a movie is average but the DVD version is way better. Ok, first thing, TOMB RAIDER is based on the popular video game by the same name. Lara Croft is the character in the game. She's an adverturer who hunts and collects ancient artifacts. Now in the movie version Angelina Jolie plays Lara Croft and the plot centers around her finding a clock that can stop/alter time. That's the basic plot. I thought Angelina was perfect for this role. She even looked like Lara a bit. I thought the accent was too fake and at times you couldn't even understand what she was saying. The special effects in TOMB RAIDER were well done. There were a lot of cool scenes and great looking locations. The acting was average. But who cares? It's an action film! Now for the extras. I really suggest getting the DVD version 'cause the bonus features are great. It comes loaded with deleted scenes, interviews, how Angelina prepared for the role, how the special effects were created, and much more. It even includes a playable 3 level demo of TOMB RAIDER CHRONICALS! Plus U2's music video and more!

Not your average Chick Flick
I've never played the Tomb Raider games so I haven't a clue of what Lara Croft is really supposed to be like except she's a chick with big guns and other features. Let's face it. Despite the somewhat simplistic and rushed plot, people love adventure movies with danger, excitement and cool stunts, especially when girls are in it.

And I personally like Jolie's rendition of Croft. She's sexy yet sensual. Athletic yet Composed. Wryly coy at times, and to top it off...she's English. With the looks, lips and soft English accent, Jolie creates a very attractive Lara Croft with adventurous elegance and style...and it certainly helps that she's filthy rich. Comes in handy when supporting her expensive hobby.

I thought this was an enjoyable film despite the weak plot. Definitely worth the viewing.
