Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Like the video game series it's based on, Tomb Raider is best enjoyed for its physical strategies, since even casual scrutiny of story details will induce a headache. It's more concerned with puzzles than plot, populated with characters that don't have personalities so much as attitudes. It's silly and somber at the same time, but as a franchise vehicle for Angelina Jolie in the title role of relic hunter Lara Croft, this is packaged entertainment at its most agreeable, ambitious in scope and scale, and filled with the kind of globetrotting adventure that could make Jolie the best thing that's happened to action movies since Indiana Jones. Could being the operative word here, because Tomb Raider can't match any of Steven Spielberg's celebrated joyrides, but the ingredients are there for an exquisitely cinematic meal. Perhaps to distance himself from Lara Croft's video game origins, director Simon West takes things a bit too seriously; Tomb Raider handles its plot (involving a planetary alignment, the nefarious Illuminati, and coveted relics that hold the key to controlling the flow of time) with all the gravity of a championship chess match... minus the tension. If the movie had lightened up and been truly suspenseful (instead of being suffused with been-there, done-that familiarity), it would have been an instant popcorn classic. As it is, however, this is an elegantly mounted adventure featuring exotic locations (in Cambodia and Iceland) and an exotic star born for her role. Even without her padded bra, Jolie would be the living embodiment of Lara Croft, and that's enough to bode well for inevitable sequels. --Jeff Shannon Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Lara CroftItem arrived on time and in great shape. I enjoy Angelina Jolie. Fun to watch!!!!!!! Rating: - Great action flickIf you are a fan of the Tomb Raider games, Angelina Jolie, or action movies where you don't need to think, then this is the film for you. I absolutely love this movie as well as the second, although I believe this one has a better story-line. This is a great action flick and Angelina Jolie performed well. She did all her own stunts which makes the movie more believable. It's a great film for anyone from the age of a teenager on up. Rating: - iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiGREAT MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Angelina Jolie rocks in both of the Tomb Raiders, but my personal favorite is 1. Though the second is great too, it Definitely tones down a bit as in hype. The first one's got everything from action to comedy. I definitely recommend this action flick to anyone who likes seeing bad guys and monsters getting their a-hole kicked...by a beautiful woman in tights. Rating:  - Lara Croft: Tomb Raider HD DVDLara Croft: Tomb Raider [HD DVD] Fast past movie with the feel of Indiana Jones with geat special effects. Rating:  - I Am Not Going to Lie, She Kicks Butt!Although Angelina Jolie's British accent could have been a little more convincing, this is just another movie that proves she is great actress. And of course I couldn't resist enjoying this high action packed, girl-power, butt*-kicking movie! Angelina Jolie plays Laura Croft, the mysterious, sexy, tough girl whose life career is tomb raiding (I mean who isn't a tomb raider now-a-day?). After showing off Angelina's on screen fighting capabilities, we begin our story with the character ... Read More |
