Review: This a was a very dumb movie! Two good things about this one were Angelina Jolie in a wet T-shirt(love silicone, hollywood doc's do such a great job!) and the FX, the rest I couldn't make heads or tails out of it!

Summary: I Love My Job!
Review: It's amazing what hollywood can doin a short period of time in thespecial effects department.I am hoping Angelina Jolie willread this... The right actressin my opinion was chosen for the part. In an article I read,Angelina expressed how much sheenjoyed playing the part of Laura Croft (Tomb Raider). SO MUCH SO THAT IT SHOWS!!I recommend this film for it'sunique entertainment value.

Summary: Great Action Adventure, but....
Review: ....somebody's got to do something about that bad plastic surgery Angelina Jolie had done to her lips. Sorry, other than the lip thing she's a prime fox. It's just the unhuman, way oversized lips make ler look like a freak. Other than that? It is a great cross between Indiana Jones and Terminator, with maybe a spice of Batman thrown in. Very well done, overall.

Summary: Lara Croft is the greatest Tomb Raider ever!
Review: Lady Lara Croft (Angelina Jolie), adventurer and heiress, finds a mysterious clock in Croft Manor when it starts ticking on the night of the first stage of the alignment of all nine planets. Lara discovers that this clock will lead her to two triangle pieces that when put together at the exact moment of the alignment of the planets, the possessor will have the power to control time. But she Manfred Powell (Ian Glen), a member of a group called the Illuminati who want to use the power of the All-Seeing Eye, steals that clock from her. It's now up to her with the help of her friend Bryce (Noah Taylor) and later on another 'tomb raider' Alex West (Daniel Craig), to find the two pieces of the triangle before the Illuminati use the power for their own diabolical plot. But Lara herself be tested when she starts having thoughts of using 'time' to be able to be with her long dead father, Lord Richard Croft (John Voight). Will she able to resist the temptation? I was totally impressed by Angelina Jolie with her doing most of her own stunts. I thought that action scenes using the bungee cord was pretty neat. Angelina sort of reminds me of Sophia Loren, you know the big lips parted a little. As for the plot, it was pretty cheesy but still it was entertainment. But the best part of the whole movie is of course the cool action scenes! The four main action scenes are 1) the beginning where Lara is head-to-head against Bryce's robot, 2) where the bad guys are trying to steal the clock from Croft Manor (with Lara giving them a pretty hard time), 3) when Lara 'raids' the Tomb of the Dancing Light, and 4) the finale with Lara and bad guys going into the Tomb of Ten Thousand Shadows. The computer graphics were actually good. As for the DVD itself, it's a pretty good special edition DVD. Plenty of special features, my favorites are the cast and crew interviews, a featurette on Angelina Jolie's physical training for the role, about the stunts, explains about the visual effects that were used in the movie, deleted scenes, and the U2 music video "Elevation". Of the four deleted scenes, three of them I was happy they had deleted. The one scene in which Powell killed Lara's friend was pretty grotesque. The one they shouldn't have deleted was the one where Lara takes the one part of the triangle from Alex's room. There are also some DVD-rom features.
All in all, it was a pretty fantastic movie to watch, enjoyable by people who want to spend two hours at home watching a film which you won't have to think too much but still have fun watching the action. Can't wait till "Tomb Raider 2" comes out!

Summary: Who needs James Bond
Review: It finally seems fashionable for Hollywood to treat the worlds created by authors, writers and now cyber-writers seriously and budget them accordingly. Hence we have a strange set of leading characters as diverse as Wolverine(X-Men), Lora Croft, Harry Potter and Froto Baggins. Worlds that were only fantasies come alive on the big screen to the delight of their respective fans and target audiences, but also to the chagrin of cynics and critics. Nobody expects a James Bond or Terminator movie to explain Life's questions, or even to really explain all of the details in the book. I've read Ian Flemming. Show me where he ever really explains 007's motivation for constantly saving the world and engaging in shallow, meaningless sexual relationships? Simon West takes Lora Croft's world seriously and actually does come up with a reasonable explaination for what would motivate an extraordinarily rich girl to constantly expose herself to incredible risks. Mountain Dew commercials aside, there is a limit to what adrenalin and extreme sports will do for you. Angelina Jolie leaves her stunt doubles sitting on the sidelines as she brings Lora Croft alive and leaves the audience cheering for more. Like all who are really in the know, I left the movie knowing that the answer to "Life, the universe and everything" is 42 and that the leading character for the best "James Bond" movie I've ever seen, turned out to be a woman

Summary: Worse than I expected
Review: The trailers looked pretty fun, right? As long as I wasn't expecting anything Shakespearean, it might be entertaining, right? Wrong. The plot ... the plot ... the pain. In the abrupt climax, the villains, the fabled Illuminati, turn out to be chumps. And talk about abrupt! You don't realize that was actually the big finish (so to speak) until the credits roll and ... wait, that was it? Lara Croft also dispatches huge stone monsters with ridiculous ease, and bullets from her little guns. Is this review incoherent? Yes, have some. Well, that's the feeling you get after seeing this movie.

Summary: Well, you can tell this was a Summer movie.
Review: This movie is definitely not trying to win any awards or trying to be taking seriously. If you want to watch something exciting and stylish knock yourself out but you won't be thinking about this movie much afterwards because of two main reasons. One, there's barely any character development at all through out this picture. The only character that gets a little and I mean little focus throughout the whole film is Lara and even that's minimal. Second, is the fact that this movie runs essential on the standard save the world from an ancient object bit. If they make a sequel it will have to be about something more involving next time to get my money. In conclusion, Tomb Raider is your average action movie with pretty woman and an established name attached to it. Worth a rental but not much more than that.

Summary: Awful!! This should be buried in a tomb!
Review: THis is one of the worst films I have ever seen. I don't know the game it's based on so perhaps I can't complain.
It is still awful. No substantial plot, no dialogue, no acting, no directing, no talent.
I would sell my DVD copy but I don't want to afflict this bad movie on anyone else.
