Summary: Without Angelina Jolie . . .
Review: This movie would not have been worth even one star had it not been for Angelina Jolie. She alone makes the movie watchable and although she cannot make up for bad writing or directing, she is fun to watch as a strong heroine. Visual effects are, of course, great, and the story line is interesting too, but the story is just too shallow. All in all, though, it is a movie to be seen on the big screen and it is a fun ride.

Summary: Good movie. Cool stunts.
Review: This movie did not have a very good plot but I guess since it was a video game that it would have a plot like that. The stunts in this movie were awesome so if you liked the Matrix stunts you will like this. I recommend this movie to someone who enjoys a good action film.

Summary: A good time!
Review: First, to all the critics who have trashed this movie for its plot flaws, I must agree with you. There are some serious holes in the plot that ultimately get in the way of this being the film it could have been. But, looking past that, it's an undeniably fun adventure. It manages to remain true to the spirit of the game, and yet still be an entertaining film-- no easy feat! Lara is, essentially, a superhero in this movie. We never fear for her, because there is never any doubt that she'll get out of whatever bind she's in. In some ways, this detracts from the movie's overall enjoyment, but it's what we've all come to expect from action heros. And Lara is a great action hero. Her attitude has the perfect edge throughout, and the humor never stoops to the slapstick level of "Mummy Returns." What's more, cinematography and set design is absolutely brilliant in this film. It's a joy to watch. There is surprisingly little use of CGI effects, as most everything is shot on location. I was happy to see that despite the frenetic energy of the trailers, the movie itself does not have an MTV feel. Director Simon West takes time to set the story and introduce the characters before sending them on an adventure. In other words, you're getting an actual movie here, not a 90 minute music video. In some ways, this movie desperately wants to be Indiana Jones (especially in the Tomb Of The Dancing Light). It never reaches that level of excellence, but compared to some other summer adventures, Tomb Raider does an admirable job. Is it a great film? No. But it sure was a lot of fun, and that's what a good summer adventure should be. I hope the inevitable sequel can iron out the plot flaws to become a really great adventure.

Summary: A review from a 12 year old--Don't waste your money
Review: I was really looking forward to seeing this movie, from all the comercials and the hypo-mumbojumbo. Well, I went and sat in the theater, and paid my 8 bucks for a hole bunch of stuff, basically. You think from the first action scene, it might be all right, but it goes down-hill from there. The characters have little personality, the sets are [not very realistic], and the story line is boring. Jolie certainly looks and acts the part of Lara Croft well but, the whole movie was just pretty boring and flat.

Summary: Tomb Raider awesome action!!
Review: This movie is actually a *GREAT* action flick and it has a great story behind it. Its not just a stupid brainless action flick thank goodness!! Nope, nad it is almost eerie how much Angelina Jolie looks like the real Lara Croft from the videos games!! Its almost as if they created the game character from Angelina!! You certainly can't get any closer to looking like the real thing. I was quite impressed with the film myself. Not boring for second and jam packed full of action. Lara Croft is on a mission to retrieve two peices of an ancient triangle in which when put together you will be able to control time!! She's not the ONLY one trying to get her hands on it,but she is only finishing what her father once would have done if he had not died. He is played by her real father Jon Voit. She wishes her father back very badly because she misses him so, and joins forces with the bad guy for the time being in order to attempt to retrieve the second triangle peice. If you are looking for an action flick with brains look NO FURTHER then "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" !! *enjoy* God Bless ~Amy

Summary: Sad, no not the movie, the people who say they liked it.
Review: Why? The question is why some people think this is a good movie. The plot was completely pointless. Think about it folks. The idea is to not reunite the pieces. Solution, destroy the clock, end of story, no need for forced action sequences that were completely stupid anyway. Don't try to justify the story either, it was stupid and deep down you know this to be true. The bungie ballet was stupid, the robot was, well stupid, the climactic scene at the end was nothing more than an erotic fairytale and completely sad (Angelina running in slow motion with her breast heaving in every direction). They forced Angelina Jolie's breasts into every possible shot. Though they are very nice, it was inappropriate for this film. The shower scene, can anyone explain this? I can, it was to stir some primal sexual emotion and to provide an opportunity to show Angelina's bare back and expose as much breast as possible and stay within the PG-13 rating. This movie is a true loser, stupid forced action scenes, marginal special effects, and not just the absence of a plot it was worse than that it was contrived.

Summary: Angelina Jolie Kicks A**!
Review: This movie provided all the action you need and expect from this kind of film, but added a double-dose of adrenaline with Angelina Jolie as it's star. Not only did she act out the part perfectly, but she looks exactly like Lara Croft. And she did a pretty good job with the accent, too. This is the kind of movie I would see again and again; it's right up there with Charlie's Angels!
