Summary: if Lara Croft was a man, this movie wouldn't sell
Review: Is it just me, or are movies becoming entirely too predictable these days? If you've yet to see our feature presentation, grab a checklist of the most rehashed movie sequences you've ever seen and watch it closely. Shower scene? We've got one of those...and in the first 10 minutes of the movie (no wasted time cutting to the chase of what the movie is all aobut, which is obviously not plot). Is there a dream scene, as well? Of course, there is...but not a true dream, just a recollection of her childhood as she sleeps. Is there an explosion and slow-motion escaping near the end? Now why would we add anything else when it has worked in every other action movie ever made since 1944? Just throw in some annoying techno or nu-metal soundtrack and make sure her bra does a horrible job of restraining her upper torso - THAT'S Tomb Raider - The computer-enhanced fantasy of any adolescent who's ever held a Playstation controller in their life.

Summary: Fine Movie Despite What Others Say
Review: First, I would like to answer those who say that the movie is unrealistic. Well, jeez, have you really seen a save-the-world hero who looks realistic? It reminds of those who analyze James Bond, trying to figure out how he can jump off the plane and still be alive. Wake up guys! We call it an 'action flick'!Some others seem to be uncomfortable with Jolie's sex symbol. Well, I guess they have no idea what assured half the success of the "Tomb Raider" games. I mean, tell me what you want but watching Jolie showering is a reason by itself to see this movie. No this movie is not the best you'll ever see, no this movie will never match Indiana Jones but hey, how many movies do you know that meet these qualities. Overall, "Tomb Raider" is a great entertaining film and you shouldn't miss it.

Summary: Not Indiana Jones...
Review: Tomb raider is to Indiana Jones what Harry Potter is to The Lord of the Rings. Completely different classes of movies. The focus of Tomb Raider is to bring the voluptuous tom-boy Lara Croft to life for the carnal satisfaction of those familiar with the associated video game -- particularly affection-starved, introverted males. You should NOT see Tomb Raider if you are looking for a subtle, sunspenseful experience like Indiana Jones.

Summary: If you're not a young teenage boy, don't bother!
Review: This movie was a snoozer. I took my 11 year old son (who plays the game on Playstation constantly) to see this movie. There is no obvious plot. In fact, I slept through 3/4 of the movie. He was awestruck (as any young teenage boy would be with Ms. Jolie). If you are older than maybe 16, I suggest you drop your child off at the movie to watch it with friends instead of suffering. It is a complete waste of time, unless you are a young boy with raging hormones.

Summary: Brilliant
Review: When i first heard there was to be a Tomb Raider Movie, i literally jumped up and down, being a large Tomb Raider fan. When it came out and i went to see it at the movies, i was sitting agasp all the way through. Angelina Jolie's performance is just mesmorising, her personality of Lara Croft is just one that you can connect with instantly. "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" is a fantastic film, with amazing stunts and special effects, moving scenes and a great Soundtrack and an amazins Score that will just take your breath away. Tomb Raider is a MUST SEE film, if you're a fan of the computer games, you won't be disappointed, it will only make you love it more, and even if you've never seen a Tomb Raider game, you will become a fan of the Movie

Summary: Tomb Raider
Review: Well worth seeing or it's entertainment value, Tomb Raider must be nejoyed for it's special effects, Angelina Jolie's... attitude which she masters beautifully (any fan of her role in girl-interrupted will apreciate her finesse as Lara Croft), as well as the interestng set design and locations. This isn't a deep thinker, although most will brush off the suggestion of the Illuminati as "fiction", it was a bold move to name them for who they are, although the unknowing viewer may be left with the impression that they are simply part of the "story line". Not so. Also, no mistaking the Blake references, for those who are in the know.

Summary: Sex and Explosions
Review: I didn't expect Indiana Jones when I entered the theatre. Heck, I didn't even expect Rick O'Connell. I just expected a cheap thrill with a hot chick for a night out with my friends. I got exactly what I was looking for. Tomb Raider, based upon the popular videogame series of the same name, is a character based action movie that centers on wealthy Lara Croft, an adventurer and tough cookie. The plot is standard- find a treasure before the bad guys do and destroy the world. Blah blah blah. What makes Tomb Raider better is the spunk injected into the character of Lara by actress Angelina Jolie. Her natural beauty and strength are the very essence of Croft, and work well. Humanity is also in the character of Lara Croft, a welcome addition to a character regarded for her body and guns. She cries, she bleeds. There is sexual undertone in this movie too- and quite a bit. Of course it comes in obvious form as obligatory female AND male shower scenes, nudity, etcetera. But it comes in subtle ways as well. Watch for it. It's very well disguised at points. This sex is associated with the violence in the adrenaline/endorphin rush associated with action movies, and to be blunt- Jolie. The action scenes are many and short between, well-choreographed and marvelously unrealistic. This is an action movie after all. Explosions, bullets, and grace. At times the action sequences take a Matrix feel to them. The only major beef I had with this movie was the over-marketing it took on and the publicity. Oh, and the last shot (a freeze). But don't worry, there's only one Pepsi reference (nearly subliminal). I had to refrain from rating this movie higher because of its explotation of the action genre. Otherwise, a fine girls, guns, and gore flick- PG-13 for the pubescent male. "Hellooo, opening weekend gross!"

Summary: wish I could give it 0 stars
Review: wow this was a bad movie. I think I can definitely place this on my worst movies I've ever seen lists. For the first hour, I kept thinking, when's it going to get good, when is a plot going to kick in. Then for the last half hour, I kept waiting for it to finish. Let me try to explain what made this movie so bad. 1. Too many pointless shots of Angelina soley for the purpose of sex appeal. Lara shakes her head around in the shower, Lara pouts her lips (get the idea) 2. Horrible storyline, so bad I don't even really remember what it's about 3. Bad transition scenes, one minute Lara's in the jungle, then all of a sudden she's in Iceland 4. Action sequences played like a CHEAP video game(think super mario bros). At one point, Lara was on some pendulum trying to get it to stick in a wall...this was more boring than watching paint try 5. Very poor character development. OK I played video games before Lara croft came out, but I had no idea why I was supposed to root for her, or boo for the bad guy

Summary: Angelina Jolie Cooks!!
Review: Let me say that I saw this movie on opening night and I thought it was awesome. If you're looking for a really well put together plot, unbelievable acting and a great script, then look somewhere else. This is a very fun movie. I put in the same category as MI2. It's not the most well put together film out there, but it's loads of fun to watch and Angelina is smokin. Pick this one up when it comes out on dvd.

Summary: Like a Good Cartoon
Review: This movie was very stylish. I sometimes felt that I was watching a fashion show starring Angelina Jolie. She was always posing and displaying a sexy attitude. For the most part, I did admire her wardrobe. I also admired the movie's many action sequences. They were fast paced and never dull. The story was not completely original and the writing gave the movie all the depth of a cartoon. Despite this, the film is actually very good. I liked it very much. It's the type of movie I could watch again and again, wanting to see my favorite scenes. It's light and entertaining.
