Summary: lame!
Review: I was excited to see it and even bought it, my duaghter thought it was good and, well she is 4 so there you have it! I thought Angelina looked great but the character was very dull, not mysterious. We just kept waiting for it to have some content. Some okay action scenes but no Indiana Jones quality.

Summary: What a Big Disapointment.
Review: This movie is so patheic. It could have been a very substance type role for Angelina Jollie, as the character of Lara Croft is supposed to be an intelligent seeker of lost artifacts who is still feeling the loss of her father (which is explored a bit in this movie but never to the extent that we care). The lack of a good story is evident by the over-kill of special effects and high tech gadgets. The search for the magic clock that can stop or reverse time was also a missed opportunity, they never fully went into detail about that. There is also the lack of a romanitic interest for Lara in this film, which might have added some interest to an already un-interesting film. Still with the success of this movie, there will most likely be at least one sequal to the Tomb Raider film series, next time, I hope they give Lara some romance in her life. A good romance can sometimes do wonders for a film.

Summary: My Two Cents
Review: Well I don't think that I can really add much more than what has efectively been said by so many prior to me. The only reason I am giving this film 3 out of 5 stars is for Angelina's performance as Lara Croft. I understand that she worked extreemly hard to for this part. And I don't mean just physically, she has the English accent down cold as is the mannerism of a British aristocrat. I was originally livid when I heard the part went to her. I wanted it to go to Catherine-Zeta Jones. Apart from the fact that Angelina was a yank. I was none too impressed with her wanton eccentricities which were reported on in the press. Lara was supposed to be a lady but as far as I was concerned Angelina was the exact opposite. But as I read more about her and when I saw the film I thought that she gave it an adequate performance. That being said. It really is hard to rate Jolie effectively because the movie was absolute trash. A non-sensical plot and poor story line. I spent years looking forward to the movie release of Tomb Raider and could scarcely believe that this dreck was all the film makers could come up with. If I had not been given a warning about the poor quality of the film I may just have walked out on it. This movie is suitable for hard core Angelina Jolie fans, or perhaps Tomb Raider fans who may want to add this to your collection. Otherwise I can not in all honesty recommend you plunking down your hard earned cash to buy this.

Summary: Angelina Jolie looks great but...
Review: Unfortunately, the movie does not. I didn't much care for Lara Croft. She seems to be somewhat of a rich spoiled girl who always gets her way no matter what. Like I said, Joile looks great, but her character so lifeless. You never get a sense a fear or aguish in Lara. Absolutely emotionless. Also there is really no originally in this movie. It borrows heavily from INDIANA JONES series as well as Ray Harryhausen's THE GOLDEN VOYAGE OF SINBAD. (Both feature a six-armed kali that comes to life). Joile is a great actress and I truly hope that she won't be making a whole series of Lara Croft movies in the future.

Summary: Nice Setting, Bad Plot
Review: Game-based adventure follows Lara Croft in her quest to uncover an ancient relic of untold power.

Summary: Angelina Jolie in skimpy outfits
Review: While this movie wasn't the most horrible movie I've ever seen, the plotline was pretty weak in my opinion. I don't think that the characters were properly developed. All that was focused upon for the most part was making this movie hot and thrilling with fight scenes and jumping music. Angelina Jolie is running around everywhere with little skimpy outfits and she has a constant "I'm so sexy" look on her face while she's running around with her guns and hanging from chandeliers. Really don't see this movie unless you are into the new trend of 'Girl kick butt' movies that Hollywood seems to be producing nowadays.

Summary: Visually appealing, lacking content...
Review: It's not a bad movie. Really it isn't. Baseketball. Now that was a bad movie. Angelina Jolie made a good Lara Croft much to my surprise. It had alot of the special effects we see in bigger movies and was pretty much well done. What it lacked though was an interesting plot. It fell back to the contrived plot of an item of power being sought after by the bad guys. What it needed though if it was already borrowing from the Indiana Jones legacy was to make the plot center over an item or history that would've been more familiar to viewers. The made up history they did just wasn't attention getting. Now, if they centered the show over perhaps Excalibur or the cross Christ was crucified on it might've made the movie more interesting.

Summary: A Jolly Exciting Movie
Review: Why is it, that we want more from a movie than is on offer? Come on chaps, "Lara Croft - Tomb Raider" isn't a film of any intellectual merit, it is merely an exciting adventure movie with a whole host of good special effects and lots of quality funny moments. I for one really enjoyed this film, I expected nothing from it other than a series of explosions and gun battles and that is what I got and I loved every single minute of it. The plot wasn't too complicated, with Lara piecing together a mystery about an ancient clock and two pieces of a mystical triangle that has the ability to fragment time and space and of course there are the obligatory bad guys trying to get their hands on it. There was a fine cast of characters from Iain Glenn playing the evil Mr. Powell (the main bad guy) to Chris Barrie of Red Dwarf fame coming across with great aplomb as the overtly English Butler Hillary who tries and fails to make his young employer into a regal young lady instead of a gun-toting maniac. One of my favorite moments is when Hillary realizes that the security in the Croft Mansion has been breeched and there is a battle going on downstairs. He calmly gets out of bed, dons a bullet proof vest taken from his wardrobe, locks and loads a massive double barreled shot gun without blinking an eye then carefully steps into his leather slippers before stepping out to join the melee. I cracked up laughing, it was SO funny! Angelina Jolie is well cast as Lara Croft, and she manages a pretty good English accent too as well as doing ALL her own stunts which impressed me big time. The special effects were superb, watch out for when a husky-dog jumps through a break in the fabric of time, it's awesome. All in all this is fun, fun film and that is the way it should be treated. The DVD is worth every cent and is stuffed full of extras that just add to the enjoyment of the film. So come on chaps, give it a chance, you never know, you just might enjoy yourselves!

Summary: Should have been a great movie.
Review: This movie has all the ingredients (good actors, decent story, good sets, great special effects etc. ) which should have resulted in a great movie. Yet there is something strangely lacking which doesn't bring everything together. The whole is less than the sum of it's parts. It is an amalgam of a watered down Batman + Indiana Jones + Aliens with a female lead.
Rating:
Summary: Overhyped trash
Review: What is there to say? A ridiculously bad script paired with the muggings and poutiness of Jolie make this a really bad movie. Action fans rejoice - if you want things to explode every two seconds then this is your flick. If you want anything else (like dialogue, character development, you know...general things that make a movie good) go see another movie. I can see kids really liking this movie, but other than that just rent it and save your hard-earned money for a better DVD purchase.
