Summary: Everything it was billed to be...
Review: Angelina looked great throughout! As for the plot - hmm - I can't seem to remember. Perhaps I'll have to view it again - a pleasant thought, but I suspect I'll have nothing further to add to this review afterwards. If given the choice of a flick to watch when being given a lobotomy, this would rate near the top of the list.

Summary: Sad but True!!!!
Review: Tombraider has always been an inspiration for game players around the world, being Laura the center of attention, her cunning will, and spicy attitude is what made her famous, In the Tombraider movie the casting director did an excellent job when choosing Angelina joli her role of Laura was beyond words, however I can't say the same for the writers, I mean what where they thinking when they wrote the story? I mean did they even have writers to begin with? maybe the producers got cheap and thought they could write it themselves. it was terrible, they could have done so much with the movie. I had been waiting 3 years for this movie to come out, and now im sorry I did.

Summary: Good acting by Jolie
Review: The best in movie added to the special effects and intense action are Angelina Jolie and Jon Voight. The movie suffers from spetacular scenes based in The Matrix and lacks on more romanticism and more erotica that should be the needs of Tomb Raider fans.
Good interior and exteriors filmed in locations on Cambodia. Good entertainment.

Summary: Not as bad as you think
Review: This movie gets a bad rep and it doesn't deserve it. Yes, it is an action flick and yes, the main attraction is Angelina Jolie in that outfit but for fans of action/science fiction this movie will satisfy. The action sequences are great and the special effects are top notch. The story isn't all that bad either. For fans of Indiana Jones, you absolutely have to see it. It has all the cool archaeological events and relics with Angelina Jolie and the action sequences. Hey, it's not going to be a classic but what the hey? This is still good fun and a satisfying movie.

Summary: AN OK MOVIE, BUT NOT ANGELINA JOLIE'S BEST
Review: I DIDN'T QUITE UNDERSTAND THE MOVIE THE FIRST TIME I SAW IT, BUT AFTER WATCHING IT THE SECOND TIME, THE MOVIE MADE BETTER SENSE. I'M A HUGE FAN OF ANGELINA JOLIE AND HER PERFORMANCE WAS GREAT, BUT I LIKED HER BETTER IN THE ORIGINAL SIN. TOMB RAIDER DIDN'T REALLY HAVE MUCH ACTION, EXCEPT FOR THE ONE SCENE WHERE HER HOUSE WAS BROKEN INTO WHEN SHE WAS DOING THE BUNGI BALLET. THAT WAS THE BEST SCENE OF THE ENTIRE FILM AND IT WAS GREAT. TOMB RAIDER WASN'T A TERRIBLE MOVIE AND I'D RECOMMEND FOR IT TO BE SEEN ATLEAST ONCE.

Summary: Don't buy, but renting is recomended.
Review: Reasons to watch this movie:
Amount of Action- Theres plenty of it.
Game to Movie Transision- The movie version of Lara Croft closely resembles what I think of the game's Lara Croft
Lara Croft(Angelina Jolie)- Cocky, nice moves, physically appealing.
The Butler-You'll have to watch to check this guy out. Reasons not to watch this movie:
Laughable action- Sure, there's plenty of action, but whats the point of it when the weapons remind you of a game of laser tag. The noise the machine guns make remind me of twittering birds in the morning. Croft's weapons weren't so bad, but why do they have to be pistols? I know that's her trademark, but she didn't have to use them the entire movie! Where's the uzies or M-16? The troops, carrying machine guns, couldn't hit a thing! Sure, Lara's supposed to be fast but she's not THAT fast. There's no way she could move among them the way she did without getting hit unless these guys are idiots. The hand to hand battles were short as well as lame.
The Ending- Fairly predictable, as well as a little corny. Is it worth watching?
Sure. Go out one of these nights and rent it. Though the action is pitiful, there is enough of it to make up for it. Along with that, this movie shows in good detail what Lara Croft and her life would be like. Just don't expect Matrix type action, and this will be an enjoyable movie.

Summary: Excellent Movie!
Review: This movie was the best in the theaters. The DVD is on my 2001 Christmas List it's the first of my favorite movies. It's on the top of my list. Lara Croft or Angelina Jolie really wants to fulfill her father's mission to find this artifact that erases or rewinds time. This movie was easy to understand and I knew when things were in the past or the future. The action scenes were perfect they were 'An on the seat thriller'. It kinda scared me at the beginning when I thought this machine she was training with was going to saw her head off, but it didn't thank goodness. I believe everyone should see this. This movie was the best one yet, I hope the Film Company makes another seqeul to this movie as well

Summary: Well I for one think this is pretty good.
Review: When I rented this for the first time I thought to myself that it would no doubt be as horrid as all those other adaptation films that came from video games. Once I actually watched it however my opinion changed. Now I think that it's actually a good movie. Now I will be the first person to tell you that it cannot stand on it's own. In other words you have to appreciate and know a bit about the games and the main character before you have a chance of thinking this is a good film. However compared with all the other adaptation movies that is a good thing, not a bad thing. Overall I say that if you like the Tomb Raider games and already know a bit about them and the character then watch it, you will like it, otherwise play the game and forget the movie.

Summary: Some Fun, But Mostly Stupidity
Review: I suppose it was only inevitable that Tomb Raider should be translated to the big screen; and like most video game films, it was inevitable to fail. Granted, it may just be one of the better examples, well beyond such horrendous offerings as Mario Brothers, but it still remains obvious that it is near impossible to take a game with little or negligible plot and successfully make a story of it on the big screen. In which case, Tomb Raider makes a valiant attempt to meld a new story with the typical gameplay of the series--and it exceedingly passes as a companion to the game: the puzzles, the adventures, the appearance all model something that one would expect to see on the video game; the downside is, however, that the game is meshed by persistent gameplay, NOT by plot, or dialogue, or a story that has any reason to motivate the player further through the quest. And so, without much surprise, Tomb Raider comes across as a exactly what it is, a Video Game you can watch, but cannot play. What little story there is has too many holes to be believable, neglects far too many issues to become coherent, and lacks just enough importance to not make any difference in the film. Moreover, where the screenplay fails in plot, it does NOT make up for in dialogue. If films resembling James Bond or Indiana Jones don't blow the viewer away with plot or characters, they at least generally possess the snide humor of the traditionally cocky hero (or heroine, in this case) and nemesis. Tomb Raider, however, fails to allay anything more than sarcasm, which dispersed evenly can oftentimes entertain, but which cannot carry a film. So, the dialogue comes across as somewhat lame, backed up only by Jolie's impeccable attitude that is admittedly appropriate, but not worth the admission fee. Furthermore, sometimes the film tries to be cool simply for cool's sake, by presenting situations and scenes that have no real relevance, working to make the film more disjointed than it already is. Where the film tries to be emotional, it comes across cheesy; where it tries to be funny, it comes across as silly; but where it tries to be the video game, it succeeds admirably, perhaps the greatest feat the filmmakers accomplished in this translation. But, alas, from beyond all of these criticisms remains a film that just might be silly enough, adventurous enough--with a main character that is hot enough--to sustain the viewer's attention. It is, throughout, a proof that video games can rarely make a successful jump to the big screen without taking considerable liberties in the process, but some aspects of what made the game a success do come across in the more action oriented scenes. Unfortunately, the back story takes some absurd leaps from moment to moment that come across in the end as so incredibly stupid that most will pass this film off as another failed attempt to profit from poor material. The film MIGHT entertain you, but you'll spend too much of your time laughing at its stupidity to ever find anything truly satisfying in it. For the time being, I'd stick with the video game!

Summary: This movie was BLOODY AWFUL!
Review: My husband & I agree (for once) that this is the worst movie we've ever seen! The story line was horrendous. But MY least favorite thing about this movie was the EXTREMELY REDUNDANT use by the little 'computer geek guy' of sterotypical British verbage, (...)
