Angelina Jolie was born to play Lara Croft . . .

From the first scene onwards you can't help but notice the dynamic resemblance between the perennial voluptuous, erotic & tantalizing cyber chic & Angelina Jolie; she was born to play that part. Lara Croft has for many years lived in the fantasy of many gamers but now with her embodiment as Angelina they have someone to relate to.

Most of the movie stayed true to the game unlike many game-to-movies flicks nothing was jeopardized maybe because the game was so perfect in its fictitious depiction of a fantasy world, not to mention no shortage of exotic locations as well as conspiracies, urban legends, myths & human paranoia.

This movie is the quintessential pop-corn flick, complete with dim-witted yet attitudinal villains, tense & exciting action scenes, futuristic gadgets & an inconsequential romantic interlude.

Verdict: thoroughly enjoyable. A great movie for Tomb Raider fans or moviegoers alike. Angelina Jolie is a virtual incarnation of the Cyber goddess. A Pop-corn flick galore.

Rating: 3 & ½ stars.


Fun film
Yes, many people are bashing this movie but I think they are all wrong. That is why there is a sequel since it was a good flick, right?

This movie is a very good adaptation from a game, since I also love the games. Angelina was a good Lara Croft not just in the physical aspect but also in the attitude. She is as confident as the one in the games.

The movie also circles in a great plot line. The plot is very well served and not draggy, unlike other movies. It doesn't aim to much to inform people a lot about the Illuminati but supplies what the viewers need, not over or under that. The whole plot makes sense in a not so draggy way.

The adventure aspect is also well done. The exotic locations were mesmerizing as well as the action sequences. The stunts were very realistic, unlike the ones in movies like Charlie's Angels were people leap like animals. Here, Lara is very human but athletic, doing stunts that are actually possible to do and done very nice cinematically.

The movie overall is very enjoyable. its a fun action flick. It may lack depth or may fail to satisfy one but its an action flick. Let go and enjoy.

Doesn't make the cut.
I have played all the games (including Angel of Darkness-yuck), and I am a big fan of Tomb Raider and hottie Angelina Jolie. So when I went to the theatre I was excited. But now...
First of all, this has nothing to do with any Tomb Raider storyline, and never should have anything to do with it. A clock and poor Laura's daddy? Who cares??? This is not the Laura that fans know! Although Angelina makes a good Laura, she would be way better if not based on a video game. The only good fighting scene is the mansion. The rest...
sucks.
I have this on VHS. I was gonna get in on DVD but...
Why Bother?
A good movie to...
Pass time.
Oh, and another good scene is...
Shower Scene.
When there is an unrated version released...
I'll buy it.
Until that day, though...
screw it.
