Rating: Summary: The wait was worth it! Review: Angelina Jolie does a great job of depicting Laura Croft, and great action sequences and wild special effects makes the movie even better. The only thing that sets this film from 5 stars is its lack of dialogue. There is way too many scenes with almost no dialogue. Otherwise the film was very exciting (though not tense as it could have been), but makes a great action flick.

Rating: Summary: Excellent action! Review: This was definitely an 'on the edge of your seat' action movie. Okay, the plot is a bit weak - but when I go to an action movie, I am not going for the plot or character development...I want good action sequences. This one has great action, excellent stunts, great graphic enhancements...what a ride!Angelina Jolie play Lara Croft...a rich lady with a huge mansion set up with toys and gadgets for her hobby - tomb raider. One night she finds a clock hidden in the house - this begins the main plot of the movie. Her 'late' father has left her instructions to find (and destroy) the symbols of power before the planets align - but more importantly she must find them before the bad guys get it an use the power for evil. Thus the setting for one action scene after another. Each scene better than the last. For action movie fans...this is a must see.
Rating: Summary: what do you expect, it was a game first Review: don't worry, this isn't a hard to follow movie. It's designed just like the games were. Lots of lavish scenes with a normal plot: save the world, kill the bad guy. But does she do it? I'm not gonna tell you. The trailers do that already. But I say the outer-space fight scene was interesting. I don't like Angelina Jolie for being too much hype, and there is way to much product placement: taco bell, cd's, UPS, Land Rover, key chains, blah, blah blah. They really can't crame anymore down our throuts unless they made a game out this. Keeping this all in mind, you will like this movie. It's not like the Mario Brothers movie. This stays close to the game, and Angelina jolie prooves herself early in the film that she is Lara Croft, right down to the accent. Go see it. Not as good a Mission:Impossible, but close.
Rating: Summary: This movie is shallow. Review: Video Games. Go figure. Why would anyone think that video game based characters would make a good movie? Simon West thought so and here we have Lara Croft; Tomb Raider. A very contried action/adventure film (no where near the quality of the Indiana Jones films, like many of the previews said it would). Angelina Jollie stars as Lara Croft, on a mission to destroy a time clock before it destroys mankind. About the only good parts in this film were the few scenes where Jollie gets to act alongside her father John Voight, and that's about the only good things I can say about this movie. If this is the best video game based films have to offer, then I say "No Thank You." and as for good science fiction/fantasy films, I much prefer Star Trek and the film work of Lucas and Spielberg instead.
Rating: Summary: Tomb Raider Rocked! Review: Now this is not an Oscar movie by any means. This is no Traffic or Crouching Tiger, Tomb Raider is exactly what the summer movie going folk need -- pure fun. Being a player of the games (and a reviewer of them as well) the movie totally felt like playing the game. You had plenty of bad guys in your way, Lara had to travel to exotic locales and of course in the end, it's up to her to save the world. I love it! This is what summer movies are supposed to be about. Action, adventure and fun. I hate to read reviews from folks who really don't understand the game and the background of Lara Croft. I personally know the fellows that created the game and who have put their heart and souls into developing this phenonemon. They are totally pleased with the movie. So do yourself a favor. If you want some fun for 2 hours, go see Tomb Radier. You'll be glad you did.
Rating: Summary: VERY dissapointing Review: Lets face it,you just can't make a good movie out of a video game(Well Mortal Kombat was good but that was six years ago).Tomb RAider expects people to go see it because one:it has a big name attached to it,two:because it looks like its action packed(which the action scenes are far between).I won't tell you the plot because its so lame I don't feel like typing it.BUt I was a fan of this series before and I still didn't like it.i gave it two stars because the action scenes were OK and just because Angelina Jolie was good in it.If you want to see an action movie with brains see Swordfish but save your money from Paramount's wide open wallet.
Rating: Summary: Jolie is a great Lara Croft Review: She may not win the Oscar for Tomb Raider, but this is still a fun movie to watch. Not every movie has to be an Oscar contender to enjoy. Go and enjoy this movie. I'm already looking forward to the sequel.
Rating: Summary: A Pretty Good Movie!! Review: This was pretty good and it did have a lot of action and it reminded me of Indiana Jones. And if you like the Tomb Raider video games your bond to enjoy the movie! The acting was moderate, but the movie lacked comedy but it did have its times. And you should see just to view Angelina Jolies awesome body!
