Lara Croft: Tomb Raider

Jolie fleshes out busty, badass computer game tomb raiding icon Lara Croft well in this action/adventure flick from a similar but somewhat lesser mold as "Indiana Jones". A not-to-be-taken-seriously convoluted conglomeration of special effects and bigger-than-your-imagination plot nonsense, "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" is all about the ever cool English Lady Lara romping and stomping through a variety of foes and creatures to save the world from the mysterious omnipotent forces of the ancients...um, something like that anyway. Should be a fun watch for gamers, chicks into girl power, and anyone who digs on butt kicking action babes.

If it was good enough 4 a star then could only imagine being part

Yes, Angelina Jolie is a really beautiful woman with a nice figure. However, that seemed to be the ONLY reason to see this movie. They really padded her chest, which I guess was understandable considering Lara Croft's impossible figure, but the padding was so obvious it was distracting! The plot was horribly contrived, even for a movie based on a videogame. This movie tried to be on the level of Indiana Jones and the Mummy/Mummy 2 and failed miserably. My husband turned to me 30 minutes into it and apologized for suggesting we see it. We did not leave but the movie was in general so predictable, we could have and would have been no worse off. The acting jobs were OK, but with such a throwaway plot, who cares? There's nothing new in this movie, nothing you haven't seen before. You definitely get more out of playing the game than watching the movie.

This is a good action movie. Certainly the dialogue is as good, or better, than most James Bond or Arnold Schwarzeneger movies. There are a couple of slow spots, but all in all, this was very entertaining. I'm NOT a Tomb Raider game player, so naming is rather irrelevant to me. Perhaps they ran into the problem that the name really exists, and to make it less liable for a lawsuit, they changed it. It happens, you know.

Never liked the games - but I thought I would give the movie a try. The whole thing was a bit flat and lifeless. Some good set pieces and FX - but strangly empty. Angie looked good - the rest of the cast forgetable. Its all been done much better before (Raiders, The Mummy etc). A digitally enhanced 6/10
