Summary: BORN TO BE A SUPER HEROINE
Review: INTELLIGENT,STRONG WILLED, PHYSICALLY IMPOSING, SPIRITUALLY ELEVATED...AND BEAUTIFUL BEYOND BELIEF--JOLIE WAS BORN TO PLAY THE ROLE OF LARA CROFT. THE MOVIE IS NON-STOP ACTION WHICH RELIES FAR, FAR LESS ON THE STAR'S PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES TO ENTHRALL US THAN ITS COMIC BOOK PREDECESSOR.IT IS A VERITABLE TEXTBOOK OF MYTHOPOEIC ARCHETYPES GIVING THE COMPARATIVE MYTHOLOGIST THRILL AFTER THRILL. THE INCLUSION OF THE ILLUMINATI EXTENDS THE MOVIE'S MYTHOS TO THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR AND THE FREEMASONS; WHICH MAY EXTEND BACK TO ALEXANDER THE GREAT. THERE IS MUCH FERTILE GROUND LAID FOR SEQUELS AND A TV SERIES. IT IS NOT ONLY ENTERTAINING (FUN) BUT INTELLECTUALLY STIMULATING FOR US SPECULATIVE ANTHROPOLOGISTS.; IT HAS MY HIGHEST RATING, NOT LEAST BECAUSE MS. JOLIE IS A GODDESS.

Summary: Give me a break!
Review: It was one of the most anticipated film this summer as millions of Tomb Raider fans awaits the screen adaptation of their favourite game. Heavy promotion and cool website serve as the entree for this movie. However, the main course just fails miserably in contrast. The director, Simon West, was more interested in getting Angelina Jolie to pose in front of the camera than making her act. The movie opened with Jolie fighting with a robot in a typical tomb raider setting only to reveal "the gem" she was after was a CD of her favourite music and the robot was her "simulated" training companion. The action was well choreographed but the humour was unbearably contrived. Thus set the pace for the rest of the film which is filled with clique and a lot of pouty lips from Miss Jolie. The movie sees Lara Croft out fulfilling her late father's unfinished mission, the search and destroy of the secret triangle that allows its possessor's the power of controlling time. However, instead of getting on with the action and less talk, the movie took a twist and became a travelogue as we travel to Cambodia and the ice arctic (where Jolie was dressed in a sleeveless top and open buttoned leather coat - one wonders what is protecting her from the freezing cold), in search of the missing pieces that will form the secret triangle. It was even more bizarre as the script serves up several mushy scene between Croft and her nemesis Powell and her arch rival Alex West as Croft debates giving up her half of the secret triangle for the chance to go on the search of the second half with the Illuminati. This was a film with forgettable character, terrible script and direction. Surely Miss Jolie can do better than putting her career at stake by associating herself with this level of production. Fans of Lara Croft will probably be much more contented with the game play and finding solace in the brilliantly designed Tomb Raider website.

Summary: Angelina Jolie, Tomb Raider, Review
Review: It's the best action movie in years. We all have seen action movies befor, but none compair to Tomb Raidar. This movie is different. It's is a combonation of adventur, comedy, and fun. Since it is based on the video game Tomb Raider people can go in knowing what to expect...or can they? With Lara Croft played by Angelina Jolie you can never know what to expect! If you haven't seen this movie yet!!...!!...!! GO SEE IT SOON!!!

Summary: Horrible Overhyped Garbage
Review: I'm glad women are finally starting to get more into action type films, but this Tomb Raider I was told was gonnah be the best female action star since Sigorney Weaver in Aliens. Oh, how I disagree with that on so many levels. Has this movie been praised because it stars a woman in skin tight clothing? Baring next to nothing? all while flying around, doing action seaqences, and over the top stuff like that? Because thats what I think has given this movie any appeal at all! I cannot stand Angelina Jolie, but putting that aside to actualy focus on the fact that she is portraying a rip-off of Indiana Jones, and wearing , well, what some people would consider sexy attire/cloths... but to me, sex doesnt sell a movie. If you havent got a good movie, then dont expect showing some skin will make it any better! The movie is terrible, Angelinas performance is sickiing, not only the cloths she wears to gain that attention of that kind of audience, but her acting both inhales and exhales (work it out, Amazon will filter my exact words for that) If your a guy who want to see a chick put on some sexy clothing to get your attention to try and distract you from a pointless ,un thought out scene with special FX from tiem to time, then you will love this movie! If you can actualy stand Angeliana Joalines conseeded acting, then you might like it. But if your like me, and see through the B.S of trying to get a sexy image to sell, then youll see how this movie fails to bring a decent woman onto the screen for an action role! I hope some actress becomes a super action star sometime soon, one maybe so even bigger then any male action star, but Angelina is not the one to look out for. Sex does not sell in my book! 0 stars

Summary: Great fun!!!
Review: This film is brilliant,a combination of very cool action scenes with a gripping storyline.Also,the character of Lara is amazingly transfered to the movie,being tough and good-hearted at the same time,not the usual tough-looking idiot that we're sick of watching on action-films as the leading character.
I really don't get the mixed opinions by the critics,this film is(at least for me)a 100& classic(for now,four years have passed already!).

Summary: Doesn't make the cut.
Review: I have played all the games (including Angel of Darkness-yuck), and I am a big fan of Tomb Raider and hottie Angelina Jolie. So when I went to the theatre I was excited. But now...
First of all, this has nothing to do with any Tomb Raider storyline, and never should have anything to do with it. A clock and poor Laura's daddy? Who cares??? This is not the Laura that fans know! Although Angelina makes a good Laura, she would be way better if not based on a video game. The only good fighting scene is the mansion. The rest...
sucks.
I have this on VHS. I was gonna get in on DVD but...
Why Bother?
A good movie to...
Pass time.
Oh, and another good scene is...
Shower Scene.
When there is an unrated version released...
I'll buy it.
Until that day, though...
screw it.

Summary: Fun Movie!
Review: I loved the action and huge detailed sets!
My nits were with the time storms- dog jumps through one and is seen as skin and bones while going through. Lara throws the clock and it hangs suspended in the time bubble. Newton's first law doesn't apply to mystical clocks? Lara puts her hand in there to grab a piece of the tringle and isn't skin and bones while there.
I can suspend my disbelief for natty larger than life action sequences where her clothes are always clean and neat and well fitted while tossing around bad guys, but ???

Summary: Great action, so/so plot
Review: The movie is great if you're a fan of the game, which quite frankly, i don't know a playstation fan who isn't. Angelina Jolie fits Lara Croft so well, and the Simon West and Angelina made the write choice on Angelina doing most of her stunts, because if they had a stunt double for every stunt, Angelina wouldn't be in the movie 85 percent of the time, the plot is good but not great, like most video game or comic movies, the plot is not the case, it's the action and the potrayal of the characters. The movie itself is good, a definite must see for Video Game fans.

Summary: Enjoyable popcorn movie.
Review: This is an extremely enjoyable short action film.
The pace never lets up and before you know it the movies done with. Jolie fits Lara Croft like a glove and really made the movie what it is.
However, dont expect much in the way of plot and what not. This is one of those 'check your brain at the door' movies and theres nothing wrong with that. Just dont expect an Oscar worthy movie and you will enjoy Tomb Raider a whole heck of a lot...
