Rating: Summary: Great family movie! Review: Lara Croft's character was awesome, and although sexy, not embarrassing. The kids loved the movie, which was action-packed and clean enough for kids of any age. I highly recommend this movie for families looking for a great day at the movies! We will be buying this on DVD when available.
Rating: Summary: Never Played The Games! Review: This movie wasn't worth the hype. I'm not sorry that I went to see it, but the ads made it sound fantastic. It wasn't. Angelena Jolie wasn't a believabe hero in a fake looking stuffed bra! The storyline was so-so. I wasn't in suspense for more than 5 minuits and there wasn't much comedy. It's hard to tell what type of movie the writers wanted it to be. It's about Laura Croft on a race to gather two stone pieces to use time travel so she can reconnect with her dead father. Sounds intresting, but as an hour and a half long movie, no. Would've been better left as a video game. It's not a waste of time, but not the best movie in theaters now.
Rating: Summary: Major disappointment Review: Granted, video games just don't translate to feature film format very well. But the TOMB RAIDER movie looks like it was thrown together out of desperation. PREMIERE magazine reported that the producers went through eleven screenwriters to arrive at the script used here. Boy, the first ten must have REALLY stunk! Angelina Jolie has reportedly turned down a $15 million payday to make a sequel. Wise move! Not much chance of a TOMB RAIDER movie franchise with this stinker to lead it off.
Rating: Summary: More Style Than Substance Review: This movie is well worth the wait to see it on video. Angelina Jolie plays a great Lara Croft, but other than the scene with her father - touching - the movie has all the substance of a video game. I'll see it again probably - but I'll wait for it to come out on video first.
Rating: Summary: Jolie 'Raids' theatres!!!! Review: This movie is a classic blockbuster hit! Usually there aren't any movies based on games do really well, but this movie is some serious good watching. I have seen it 2 times and want to see it again! Angelina plays the tomb boyish Lara. She is on a quest to bring the 2 triangles back together to see the past and the future. I won't spoil the rest, but it is a very neat ending! The sequal will be exciting to see if they can fulfill this box office hit! Raiding past its million dollor mark. 'Tomb Raider' with no problem will make it's 2 million dollar mark. I enjoyed it as much as anyone will. There is one pop out part at the beginning that it is very loud, so if you're taking your kid, cover his ears because it's pretty loud. Well, I recommend this movie so go out there, and see it!!
Rating: Summary: WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN Review: I WAS EAGER TO SEE THIS MOVIE, EVEN ROGER EBERT GAVE IT COMPLIMENTARY REVIEWS, BUT ROBER LET ME DOWN THIS TIME. TO BELIEVE THAT IT WAS REWRITTEN 3 TIMES IS UNBELIEVABLE, I'M SURE ANJOLINA HAD NO TROUBLE MEMORIZING SO LITTLE AND SUCH CHEEZY LINEES AND PHRASES IN A STRUGGLING ACCENT. IT HAD SO MUCH POTENTIAL AND THE PLOT I HOPED WAS THERE WAS COMPERABLE, BUT IT JUST DID NOTHING FOR ME. I FOUND THE FAT BUM SLEEPING NEXT TO ME MORE INTERESTING. THANK THE GOOD DUDE I SNUCK INTO ANOTHER SHOW, I COULDN'T BARE TO THINK THAT I WASTED MY MONEY ON THAT PIECE OF .... BUT THE MOST I WILL GIVE IT IS...IT HAD ITS MOMENTS...BUT PLEASE, WAIT TILL IT COMES TO A DOLLAR THEATER OR RENT IT, THIS IS NOT A MOVIE TO WASTE ALOT OF MONEY ON.
Rating: Summary: BIG, BAD and UGLY. Review: Hello, this is me writing a review. My name is Bernie. I am going to write a review for you on a movie I saw that I don't think anyone has heard of or even knew was out. It is called TOMB RAIDER: LARA KRAFT. Thank you.Demi Moore stars in this adventure film based on the TV show- Tomb Raider. She goes in search of the lost lego chip which could blow up the Earth. Along the trip are Harrison Ford and Denise Richards. Now the movie was okay, but wasn't great. Why was ANGELINA JOLIE in this movie- well it's simple- she wanted to show off her small hoots which were mostly stuffed beanbags. Demi Moore, though steals the show. Um K? So if you like PG-13 that's all GORE, NUDITY and "BRIEF" LANGUAGE- go see this 90 minute peace of junk- TOMB RAIDER. But it you wanna get some action- see TOM HANKS in FORREST GUMP. Thanks so much, Bernie Mocco
Rating: Summary: The Best Film of the Year Review: Tomb Raider is such a great movie. Being a fan, i was looking forward to the movie for a long time since i first heard of it in december of 1999, but i didnt expect it to be this GREAT!!! The movie is simply marvelous! The action scenes are fantastic and the plot was very well written. It feels like your actually a tomb raider accompaning Lara Croft on this great adventure. And Lara Croft/Angelina Jolie is so HOT!!!!!!!!! she looks incredibly awesome! This is basically the best movie i have ever seen, because i have seen it 4 times, something that i have never done before. but its such a great movie that the more i watch it, the better it gets. Lara Croft: Tomb Raider is a film for anybody! I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to see a good movie [....]
Rating: Summary: bugga! Review: as far as the game is concerned i think that the movie is just as exciting and maybe even a little more considering Angelina is Lara Croft. the british accent was perfected to an extent, the action and adventure does not slow down, the locations used in the movie are superb, they really add to the movie and transport you into the adventure alongside Lady Croft. i had so much fun watching this movie and there are amazing stunts that keep you on the edge of your seat... i would definately watch it again!! there is no one better for the role of Lara than Angelina, she was brilliant as always.
Rating: Summary: the movie gets better the younger you get. Review: keeping in mind this movie is based on a video game.(a game i enjoy)...i wasn't expecting much..i was pleasantly surprised. the acting is for the most part highly effective. the sets and music work well. the writing and premise of the story are even decent. BUT........ a movie called "TOMB RAIDER" could have spent a little time on the tombs...... barring the fact that the tombs looked great...it is rather boring to see the tomb raiders walk into the tomb do what they need to do and leave.. someone had the bright (read....NOT SO) idea to replace any form of elaborate traps that ancient people might have left for scavengers with magical stone statues that come to life and only take one bullet or one hack of a sword to overcome.....nice eyecandy but really boring and somewhat insulting..i went to a matinee on opening day to see this movie as i looked around the theater most of the people there were adults...and yet i felt this movie was geared for five year olds
