Summary: Ah, don't listen to these obsessive mouthbreathers
Review: (...)Well, I liked it. There I said it and I'll say it again. I LOVED Tomb Raider, in fact. Angelina was the perfect choice to be Lara, and although I could have done with more character development, I liked all the wacky planetary/time stuff and definitly loved the action sequences. The best part is the bungee ballet, in my opinion. And I'm definitly glad that they cast Chris Barrie (from Red Dwarf, check it out sometime... one of my fave shows) as her butler and not some flatulant old man. ^_^ Bryce was cool too, and that Adam West guy was definitly hunky. Lara would probably kick his bum though. Heh heh. Just watch it and see for yourself to find out if it's good. The only way to know for sure is to make your own opinion. Don't take my word for it, or these other (...). Just check it out!

Summary: Let us be honnest...
Review: Okay fellow lovers of the PC game, this is about making a movie that everybody's asking too much about it. Right Lara Croft is really something and besides her little nasty attitude, she looks good on screen.

Like it or not, at least someone did make a movie out of it, and for that we have to be gratefull. On my side, i think that any Tomb Raider fan will have to get this movie anyways. As far as i'm concerned, I must admit that I enjoyed it a lot :)

See by yourself...

Summary: Hmmmm
Review: The bad thing about video games being made into movies is that sometimes I forget that I'm watching a movie, not playing the game. If the movie's not going the way I want it to, I can't go back and explore new places or maybe type in a secret code to go to the end. No, I gotta watch the whole thing.

Well, I'd give "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" two and a 1/2 stars (out of four). I read that the movie was supposed to give you this goofy grin the whole time, but I only had that goofy grin about 3/4ths of the time. So when you give a movie that you liked 3/4ths of the time 2 and a 1/2 stars, that means you take the extra 1/4ths and multiply it by the remaining 1 and a 1/2 stars (assuming they go up to 4), which gives you 1/8ths of sheer boredom. But of course, you can't forget the 9/12ths of sheer wonder that the movie holds, which is actually, when you reduce it, only 3/4ths after all. So when you compare the 3/4ths to the 1/8ths, the good wins out. But let's not forget the badness......

First of all, the plot didn't make ANY sense at all. Well, it makes sense if you don't care about the laws of physics and sense (but if you leave out sense, how can it make sense?). The plot was something about how everyone wants to possess this globe thingy that will make them God. Seems an ancient civilization got their hands on it and "over-used" it, so they destroyed themselves. Okay, here's a point: If the thingy lets you have the power of God, how CAN you destroy yourself? You're God! Just say "I will never die" and you're safe. But no, even if you're God you can die. Like that makes sense. And isn't there something scary about Lara Croft becoming God?

Another thing I didn't understand was the creepy little phantom girl. She popped out of nowhere with no explainable reason and just "guided" Lara around. And Lara just follows her around like it's no big deal! That's another thing: Why does nobody stop to think, "You know, this being God thing and all these statues coming to life and this phantom girl..... it just doesn't make any sense!" Of course, Lara can't do that, because she always has to look sexy and cool and everything. If she started panicking and thinking, "Oh man! That's unbelievable!" it wouldn't look good. Same with the rest of the cast.

Summary: Dang that was sad
Review: This is one of the worst movies i've ever seen. I;m not sure why but the plot just never hooked me and it was waaayyyy to un-realistic. Take MI2 for exaple. It had to do with money whording pharmacies that make a virus and a cure to rake in the cash but Tomb Raider... it was mostly Angelina Jolie nude or half nude shooting some one to get a key to a time machine. WHOOOO!! a time machine. Sure.. Even the 9th gate was better than this movie. So if you like Angelina Jolie it was great!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A OK story with some great action scenes! SEE IT!
Review: This movie looked really good from the previews. It didn't tell much about the story, but I don't think that mattered for most people. People saw this movie for one of two reasons: The action or Angelina Jolie. I saw it for both. The movie was not as good as I expected it to be. My friend who I saw it with loved it unbelieveably. I thought the story was weak and just corny. I have never played any Tomb Raider games and I can just tell I really don't see how this fits into any of them except the idea of "tomb raiding". But a strong point of this was the action in this movie was not bad at all. I think the movie itself was made very well. But it could have been improved on in many ways. They say a sequel is in the works. I just hope that they do see that there were parts of this movie which were just relavent.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Angelina Jolie IS Lara Croft in this feelgood movie!
Review: A perfect movie to get away to fantasyland for a couple of hours. The sets and special effects are incredible and there is no better person on earth that could have been cast in the role of Lara Croft. I'm not really an Angelina Jolie fan, nor have I played any of the Tombraider games, but I left the movie thinking, 'wow she is cool!' This not a movie for someone who thinks too logically while watching movies, after all how does Lara Croft survive hundreds of rounds of bullets flying around her without a scratch. However, if you can let go of reality and get immersed, it is very enjoyable. I have pre-ordered the DVD so I can watch it over and over again.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Worse than the last "Batman" film!
Review: Amazing! This film is worse than "Batman Forever", one of the few films that had me running from the theatre. Bad casting (the "super-weirdo" Jolie as Lara Croft?? What were they thinking?), pedestrian action sequences, a bad "script" and a large budget mixed into an unwatchable mess. Did'nt the producers of this sewage watch any "Indiana Jones" films to see how Tomb Raider should have been made; or even play the game?

To quote Leonard Pinth Garnell: "Simply awful, could'nt have been worse.."

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Adventures of Angelina
Review: I have never played Tomb Raider the videogame, but enjoyed the movie. The story wasn't as tight as it could have been, but it's Angelina Jolie in an action flick. Bonus: nice outfits & great music. I wouldn't mind that mansion she lived in, either.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: What are you looking for?
Review: If you're looking for intelligence, a good plot, or a riveting adventure, you're probably in the wrong place. If you're looking for good clean escapist entertainment, you're in the right place. If you looking for eye candy, you're definitely in the right place. The soundtrack ain't bad either.
This movie has gotten some pretty bad reviews since it's theatrical debut. These reviews all made very valid points, if you don't have a clue what you're talking about.
What you have here is a movie that's based on a computer game that's based on....wells T&A. Let's face it, the Tomb Raider fan base began as a bunch of lonely men with too much time on their hands. It wasn't until later that the game caught on for it's actual value as a RPG, and well...that value is questionable.
I for one, went to see this expecting nothing more than a lot of great footage of Angelina Jolie doing some really cool stunts. I was impressed with the spectacle I received. Overly impressed. So, I give it a 4 star rating for its great spectacle, but if you are looking for something more....that's the fifth star that just isn't there.

Rating: 5 stars
