Nothing like the video game. Jolie doesn't die every 15 seconds.

Angelina Jolie in a tight suit that highlights her boobies? Imagine the board of coked up executives that must have sat in a dark room, smoking cigarettes and feeling disillusioned, when this didn't win the 'Best movie ewah' award. This is how misanthropes are born.

Little known fact: being an archaeologist is 95 % looking all slick and cool in slo-mo, 5% jiggling.

A decent action movie with some, not all, good music on the soundtrack. Angelina Jolie does fit the part of Laura Croft as the tough but sexy heroine. While not a great film by any means it does manage to entertain and is probably the best movie based on a video game to date (not like that's much of an accomplishment however).

Sort of like Indiana Jones, except it's a girl, and not as good.

Angelina Jolie is hot, she shoots stuff, blows stuff up, and out smarts people.

Very loud, nonsensical, fun movie. Glaring flaws n water bras, it's ridiculous and nauseating, but still enthralling.

The most boring movie I've ever seen. I stopped watching because I was bored which is a rarity

They kept it as if it were a video game, I appreciated that honesty. Glen's hedonist villain character was interestingly quirky. I think that in this movie instead of a director of photography, they had a director of mammography as everything felt like it was framed around Jolie's breasts.

I don't think a single thing that happens here makes a lick of sense. Weirdly, Voight and Jolie look forced and awkward together...

Nothing special, but succeeds at not being bad, which is kind of respectable.

Recommented to all Angelina Jolie fans. Angelina is the only possible Lara Croft! About the movie I do not want to talk about. The sequel looses everything, even the promising part of Jolie.

Not as bad as everyone else makes it to be. I still think it's pretty darn good...

ImThatDingo | 8 13th |
Every one of these movies sucked....Jolie tries waaay too hard and ends up over-acting quite a bit. I can't get into a movie where a mal-nourished, underweight broad runs around killing shit. The recoil from her handguns alone would have broken her arms. Pass.

Terrible acting, terrible plot, sub-par special effects, stupid use of slow motion. Truly awful script and horribly annoying accents. Jolie's performance is absolutely abysmal. Jolie is not even that attractive here, so I'm not sure why people were so excited to see her in this. Very boring and pointless movie. This could have been better if instead of Angelina Jolie they had cast a super-fit badass similar to Linda Hamilton in Terminator 2: Judgment Day.

Another guilty pleasure. I think it's because I love the games so much.

A frankly daft film, that has no plot and little action of interest. The most positive thing I can say about it, is that it's better than its sequel!

Since I've been quite a fan of the Tomb Raider games on the PC, I had gotten curious about this movie. And while it's quite fun to see Lara come to life in a film along with some nice details (the sound you hear when she finds the clock in her house is almost identical to the sound you hear when you find relics in the game), the film itself is pretty much rubbish. The plot is empty, the action is quite lame, and the jokes aren't very funny. I did like her boobs, though.

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider is a prime example of a successful video game franchise that struggled to make the transition to feature films. On paper Angelina Jolie is perfect for the role, but she is awful, as is the dialogue and the completely nonsensical plot. Even the huge amount of set pieces can't salvage this disapointingly dismal film adaption. And at no point during this film was I reminded of or felt any nostalgia towards the video games. So overall this was a completely missed opportunity.

A silly, cheesy action film, as must be expected. Kinda fun, definitely tacky.
