Summary: All Action, No Brains
Review: Many of our greatest films are based on popular books. This is the hollow shell that you get when you make a movie that's based on a VIDEO GAME.

Summary: review by Daniel Enders
Review: That is one of most greatest movies in thies and the last century.
Angelina Jolie and Til Schweiger there are the best actors in all time.
This movie is simply the best of all action movies and a very good sequal.

Summary: Good Against Evil!
Review: No one can deny the appeal that Angelina Jolie has in her role as Lara. She is a beautiful woman who pulls off her character with great strength and grace! Not an easy thing to do.
Of course we have our villian, a Scientist who is determined to find the famous "Pandora's Box", open it and expel horror upon mankind. Lara takes on the challenge to see this does not happen.
This is an action packed movie, a thrill a minute, crammed full of exotic places, breathtaking stunts and even a sprinkle of romance for our heroine! I enjoyed this one! I don't think you will be disappointed!

Summary: Love it
Review: Unlike some of the other reviews, mine wont contain vulgar language which Amazon surprisingly didn't edit out.I give this movie 5 stars and this DVD 5 stars also because the bonus material is GREAT! It gives detailed information on the making of the movie including Angelina's training that includes weapons and hand to hand combat. It is clear, this movie has transformed Angelina Jolie into a real life Lara Croft and she can pretty much kick anybody's butt. And she really looked like she enjoyed making this movie and it was a lot of fun for her and that translated onto the screen. She feels very comfortable in her role as Lady Croft. The character seems to have been made for her. It's a pity so many people don't see how wonderful the Tomb Raider movies are. They just don't make these type of adventure movies anymore. 'The Matrix' movies were all way over done and took themselves too seriously and ultimately lead to the biggest let down in movie history. Tomb Raider is what it is. A fun, action packed adventure movie. You don't have to leave the theater trying to figure out what you just saw. It's only meant to entertain and, for me, it did. I wish they'd make 10 more Tomb Raider movies.

Summary: Like the first, this second part also put me to sleep
Review: If you're one of those guys who has dreams of dating Lara Croft from the PC games, then you might like this movie. As for normal men and women, they'll hate this movie.

Summary: Another nail in Hollywood's coffin
Review: An earthquake in Greece provides access to an undersea temple where a dispirited and humorless Angelina the archaeologist vandalizes the best find since Tutenkhamun, making off with an orb which provides the clue as to the whereabouts of Pandora's box wherein resides the stuff from which life was created - simultaneously being sought by an evil scientist who wants to take over the world. That sounds a reasonable enough concept for a Hollywood movie, but with predictable skill our Californian friends drain even this miserable "Raiders of the lost ark with a woman" theme of any redeemable qualities. A couple of hours playing the videogame is likely to be infinitely more interesting and rewarding. Sad, because the first Lara Croft movie, with a much more upbeat and sexy Lara, was fun.

Summary: Solid Movie in the Action Genre
Review: While somewhat formula in it's plot, this movie is worth watching for its stunts and innovative action sequences. The highlights are the glidesuit/basejump sequence, the first escape from the bad guys piece and the shadow warriors scene. The movie moves along at a reasonable clip with few really slow bits and is supported by good cinematography and an excellent soundtrack. I actually thought this movie was a bit tighter plotwise and less corny that the first movie. In the case of the DVD there is a fair amount of information regarding the creative process of making the movie including the obligatory sections on stunts, special effects and scoring. What I thought was a bit missing was some of the design materials that would talk about how the look and feel of the movie came from. However, maybe I'm a bit spoiled bit the amazing amount of that sort of info from the LotR and Matrix DVD's.

Summary: Don't Do it Angie!!!!
Review: First I will say that Angelina Jolie is one of the sexiest females to breathe oxygen on our planet. Saying that, I will testify that TR:COL is one of the worst movies to be recorded on a motion picture film strip. I came to this conclusion within the first 15 minutes after watching young Lara execute a right jab to the nose of a great white shark and proceed to hitchhike him to the oceans surface. From that point on my expectations for the remainder of the film were low! As I am wise enough to know that Angie didn't put the script or action sequences together, I will forgive her for this cluster f&%k of a movie and the first movie to piss me off since Charlies Angels 2. Obviously she put alot of heart into the movie but emotion will only take you so far where as the plot and execution of the plot will reveal themselves.
Also what is with these movies lately with female heroes where the just seem indestructible? In the past we've seen Spider-Man, Blade, and a few X-Men all at some point get beaten to hangin on to that dear thread of life (knowing that actually wouldn't die but it's nice to see that they are not all-powerful). How can you feel for a character that's always Dodging bullets and eluding danger?? Hollywood needs to fix this.

Summary: "A Movie You Could Do Without"
Review: When it comes to entertaining the second edition of the tomb raider series "Tomb Raider-Cradle of Life" doesn't do such a good job.I found it to be rather boring.There was realy nothing there to keep the viewer entertained and you basically just stop caring.Cradle of life is basically the first movie but under a different name.If you were to watch both the first and second movies you would see that they are both really the same thing(both have the same idea).So if you watched the first there would be no important reason why you would want to watch the second.So save your money for a better,less boring movie.Not even the action could save this movie from its less than interesting plot....Who realy cares? Unless you are easily entertained you should leave this one alone.

Summary: Don't go for the acting
Review: The acting in this movie was a mess. It wasn't as good as the first Lara Croft movie. The plot on the other hand is worth noting. I loved the idea of the movie, the cradle of life. It spices up the boring life of Lara into a show. The plot also has many twists and exciting climaxes that you are sure to enjoy. But lara croft is a disapointment so if your a fan of hers don't get excited. I did however enjoy this film. Its worth five bucks to go to a matinee
