Summary: Good cleanish fun
Review: You know the kind of action movie, guns blazing away at our hero, but our hero gets a scratch at the very worst? Well, if you don't mind that kind of escapist action hokum, this might be the movie for you.The sets are stunning, Jolie looks great, (Love the catwalk swagger). The quasi mytholgy is daft but entertaining, as is are the strange children that seem to act as psychic guides. Just suspend all disbelief, and enjoy the movie for what it is. Lots of fun, fast furious action, plus candy for eyes and ears. Favourite one liners from Lara, "Absolutely" and "Fascinating". The baddy and the rival are entertaining as well. I had expected it would be awful, but went out of curiosity. I just wish I had a house big enough to do ariel acrobatics to the strains of Bach!

Summary: Worth taking a look at
Review: I admit, I did not want to go watch this movie. But, I was reluctantly drug off to see it. I did not think it was half bad. Ok, ok, she is not the Lara Croft of the video game. In the game, Lara can die if you aren't careful. In this movie, you know Jolie is going to win for she is rarely in any danger. Also, the puzzles are nowhere near as challenging as the game puzzles are. All in all, it was not too bad of a film. The cussing and violence were to a minimum and I must admit, I like that. It is about time there were a few movies you could take your children too. So go see it and see for yourself before you believe all the bad reviews. At least rent it when it comes out on DVD.

Summary: Lacks fantasy, lacks Lara Croft
Review: This movie has no connection to the game that made Lara famous. A game on the big screen wouldn't work, but many icons should have been kept. Like the music, Lara's clothes (if not the same, at least something closer to what we've seen on the game), the action and the way it happens. The lack of this link to the game renders the big screen Lara just a mix of Indiana Jones, James Bond and, yes, Luke Skywalker. Lara as we know never suffered from such an identity crisis. Were the movie called "The adventures of Jolly Jolie", it would be ok. Just a new adventurer on the block. But this Lara. Or at least was supposed to be. The clothes she wears when she goes to the ice city, close to the end, belong to anyone but an adventurer. Too fashion. The plot is the usual result of a commitee: too much heads trying to prevail each of their opinions always end up transforming a horse on a camel. Angelina is fine, except for her lips. Is she trying to kiss someone during the whole movie? The lack of links to the game kept the fantasy we've been fed for years out of the movie. They tried to make Lara real, but she's not. Is James Bond real? His worst movies are the ones they tried to make so. Bond's producers learned the lesson. Will the guys behind Lara?

Summary: Too Short!!
Review: The biggest problem with the film is that just when it starts to get really good ir.....ends!! The action scenes where very impressive but unfortunatly the film was let down by a poor script and lack of story. Okay there was a story but you never felt any emotion with the characters on screen, so the story just seemed too un-real and un-important! I did find some parts enjoyable but I would not rush too see it! ITs not on the same planet as Indi!!

Summary: boring
Review: When they said this movie was coming out I got real excited, what a let down it is. No plot, no character definition, it's just a bunch of stunts and special effects. This is the kind of movie that a group of people will fight over who goes to get the popcorn,we all went. I would rather watch grass grow, there would be more of a plot. You've been warned, don't waste your money.

Summary: Angelina kick ass
Review: I thought this movie was GREAT!! Angelina is only person who could have pulled this role off. She has a great attitude which shines through on screen. All the effects and action make this the best movie of the summer. I have already seen it 3 times :) i just can't get enough.

Summary: Good Lord, No!!!
Review: I play computer games moderately (including the first Tomb Raider game) and I love movies, but can Hollywood please just stick to ... novels and resurrecting old TV shows as possible franchises, please? I was hoping this movie would surprise me and go beyond Hollywood's typical brainless action flick. (Con Air, anyone? Hmmm, same director...) I should have known better. Which ever one of the eight or so writers paid to script this movie wrote the opening scene should get a 'Get Out of ... Free' card because it was actually salvagable; I managed through the part about the stupid glowing clock and even the cliched tete a tete with Powell, but when the liquid in the Cambodian temple enters the human-sized statues and re-animates them (a 95% recreation of The Mummy, mind you) I lost all faith. And when the massive multi-armed statue suddenly stood up and came at everyone, I knew what those postal workers felt right before they snapped and shot everyone. If you are a man there are some things you can enjoy, namely ... (I've seen ... scene in Pushing Tin, so she had to have been padded for this - sorry to ruin the moment.) The only reason I gave this movie two stars is ... well ...if I have to explain it again ...

Summary: Save the hype for Indiana Jones!
Review: I went into the theater expecting this awesome blockbuster-of-the-summer. Boy, was I disappointed. I had heard all about how awesome Angelina Jolie did, playing Lara, and all... But they didn't write the movie right. If you are looking for an Indiana Jones-type film, look elsewhere. There is little or no sexual tension, and she is never in any danger! She keeps her cool through the entire film! I was never on the edge of my seat, hoping against hope that she'd make it through this time. 3 stars for all the effort I know she did put into it (she went home bleeding some days without telling anyone), but based on the movie by itself, maybe 2 stars (and that's being generous).

Summary: Tomb Raider Rocks
Review: I think that the movie was so cool apart from Laras green eyes the skull on her belt and her balt its self otherwise COOL!!! A must see TWICE NO MORE
Rating:
Summary: It was good but not great
Review: I thought this movie would be like a Indiana Jones type of a movie but ended up not being like it at all. I was disapointed with it. I thought there would be more action and adventure. Still good. I just won't be seeing it again.
