Summary: The Most Hilarious Movie of the Summer
Review: Walking into the movie theater, I prepared myself for a boring, Indiana Jones rip-off that had would have no plot and a lead actress with a noticeably fake chest. Well, Tomb Raider was all that and more--a hilarious, off-the-wall comedy, packed with laughs, laughs, and more laughs--even though they weren't intentional.To truly enjoy this movie, you must first suspend ANY hopes for a real storyline. Hell, through all the laughing all I remember is her going to a bunch of random "exotic" locales, making a pathetic attempt at action. Oh yes, the so-called action. "Ballets" of gun fighting, the logic of trying to shoot a boulder-monster several times larger than the actress--all are scenes that will truly leave you rolling in your seat. Also, you must truly enjoy Jolie's wooden acting and not-so-wooden-and-very-fake chest, as they provide for random bouts bouts of laughter. As I imagine you may be watching the DVD release, don't feel guilty at all about laughing--I didn't, and I was in a damned theater! Other hilarious bits that you must be able to enjoy are the ENTIRE lapse of continuity and logic--where in Lord's name did those dogs come from? And of course, how is it Jolie's chest does not look cold at all even as they are in Antarctica. Basically, this is a movie where you come in and laugh your butt off... all for a few bucks.

Summary: Lots of eye-candy, but the story was L-A-M-E...
Review: This was a missed opportunity frankly to create a female version of the Indiana Jones franchise. They got the female part right, certainly, with the luscious Angelina Jolie and they included a number of great action scenes, including a marvelous set-piece where Jolie just happens to be hanging from a bungie cord in the center of her house. But the story could hardly have been lamer. It makes no sense. I won't go into all of the details. If you care about such things, you can read some of the other reviews here, and if you want to see the movie even if it has a lame story, it won't matter what I say anyways.
But two observations I had: 1) The trailer for this movie got cut from the actual film! (That whole scene where she and one of the bad guys are taunting each other). What the heck is that?
2) For such a supposedly smart lady, she has absolutely horrible taste in men.
Other than that, the film has all of the requisite explosions, funky sets and pseudo-mystical mumbo jumbo to back up the schlocky fake archeological plot.
Bottom line: Rent, don't buy, and leave your brain at the door.

Summary: If I could, I'd give it 0 stars
Review: I still can't believe I waited a month in agony for it to come out!! I was hoping for an Indiana Jones type movie where you can actually learn a little about some distant culture, but with a female star. Instead, I got an incredibly stupid movie full of ridiculous action scenes and very little actual excitement. It didn't even make sense. She should have brought her father back; she was selfish enough to not destroy the first triangle while she had it. I mean, she went through all that trouble to not even finish what she started. This was such a big disappointment; I wanted to leave after the second scene. Maybe I would like it if I was a teenage guy, but it was a waste of time. Don't waste your money on this and go rent the Mummy.

Summary: Lara Croft: Tomb Raider Is Lots Of Fun!!
Review: Finally was able to see "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" and I really enjoyed myself at the theaters! 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 it this clock will lead her to two triangle pieces that when put together at the exact moment of the alignment of the planets, the pocessor will have the power to control time. But when she is betrayed by a friend, Manfred Powell (Iain 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 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 will 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)? First, the bad points of this movie. Yes, I agree the plot was thin which makes the film corny and cheesy though there were some great action scenes. But it's still a fun movie to watch with a bowl of popcorn (or a few bowls of popcorn for me!). The main thing though that I didn't like about it is that the end where Powell and Lara fist fought was a little violent. They might have used martial arts or something but fist fighting... well, I guess they wanted to do that for a climax. All right, the GREAT parts!! I was totally impressed by Angelina Jolie with her doing most of her own stunts. I thought that action scenes using the bungie cord was pretty neat. Angelina sort of reminds me of Sophia Loren, you know the big lips with the lips parted a little. I just wish they could have used a little bit more of Daniel Craig as Alex, Lara's sort-of boyfriend. He sort of reminds of Michael Douglas in a few ways. Also the action scenes were really cool, the beginning where Lara is head-to-head against Bryce's robot, where the bad guys are trying to steal the clock from Croft Manor with Lara giving them a pretty hard time, when Lara 'raids' the Tomb of the Dancing Light, and the finale with Lara and bad guys going into the Tomb of Ten Thousand Shadows. The computer graphics were actually good. 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: Huge disappointment
Review: Lackluster adaptation of the hugely popular video game that has Angelina Jolie filling in more than ably for the title character. Swaggering around in great clothing and accesorized by the coolest gadgets imaginable, Jolie's Lara Croft is an action woman extraordinaire, seizing her audience by storm with her powerful physical and emotional presence, and presenting the most popular female action hero since Sigourney Weaver first started battling those evil aliens. The story, however, isn't up to her standards, wasting the gorgeous around the world locales and strong supporting cast in favour of overly-edited action scenes and deceptive but ultimately useless character development (all the scenes about Croft dealing with her father's untimely death never really tell us anything about her or her relationship with him). The plot, such as it is, concerns our heroine racing against time to save the world from being taken over by a Venice-based power cult called the Illuminati who require an ancient talisman to be used in a ritual during a powerful solar eclipse. Between these guys and Hannibal Lecter running a museum in Venice, the place has certainly fallen off my personal list of future vacation spots. Though it features many good visual effects and exciting battles in ancient temples and all the trappings you hope for in a film of this sort, there's always the feeling that something's missing. Once you reach the finale and find out it's topped off by the most anti-climactic ending of the year, you have finished watching an okay but unremarkable movie starring a very impressive but underused leading lady. And yes, her breasts are everywhere all the time. Looking forward to a better sequel.
