  Awesome
  
  This was a fantastic piece of escapism with a good solid story and a super ending! What really made the movie however was the sultry Angelina Jolie.

  One Word (Well, maby two)
  
  Angelina Jolie. She makes this film and is looks amazing all the way through. Worth 5 stars for that alone. Stroke of genius to cast her as Lara Croft
