Lara Croft - Tomb Raider Reviews

[Highly rated reviewer]

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.

The girl just exudes pure sex appeal that is topped of with a well-to-do and horny English accent. The shower scene blew my mind.

I digress – rent it! It could only be bettered if Angelina starts wearing even less (we can only hope guys)! A really cool film.

She's Fine

I thought I'd give this film a chance despite some bad reviews mainly because I truly fancy Angelina Jolie and came away pleasantly suprised. This is a not a bad film at all with some good action and nice effects plus Miss Jolie with a posh English accent is simply scrumptious. Not the best I've seen but a lot better than many, and definately worth a watch if you like this type of movie.

Looking for Horn

Angelina Jolie gives me the horn. Lara Croft gives me the horn. Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft gives me the Mega-Horn. When I first heard about this film I thought I was going to Horn Heaven. I was wrong. This film didn't give me the horn. While there were moments of horn possibility - Jolie as Lara in skimpy, tight lycra clothes - overall the film was horn-less. I found myself bored, I can't remember the story and after ninety minutes it left me limp.

If you want triple A (Action Adventure Archeology) then Indiana Jones, The Mummy, The Goonies (Baby Ruth! Baby Ruth!) or even National Treasure will do the trick. If, like me, you want the Horn then we continue down that lonely road looking for a film which will bring forth the horn.

P.S. I wonder if Tomb Raider 2 is worth a try.

Not actually that bad

I've heard pretty much only bad things about this outing of Lara Croft. So I rented it expecting to be thoroughly underwhelmed, and... it wasn't actually that bad. Whether it was the low expectations or something else, but I didn't find myself completely bored out of my skull or thinking 'this sucks' like I thought I might.

Action-game herione Lara Croft, millionaire heiress and Tomb-Raiding, all-action archaeologist, is brough to life in this action flick, played by Angelina Jolie, who actually pulls off a decent British accent, unlike most American actors. As a briton myself, I can consider myself an expert on the subject. The plot isn't exactly gripping, but since the focus of the film is the action rather than oscar-winning material, this isn't surprising. The planets of the solar system are going into planetary alignment which only occurs every 5,000 years, and a secret society known only as the Illuminati is seeking an ancient talisman that gives its possessor the ability to control time. To obtain these pieces an ancient clock must be used, which belongs to Miss Croft, hidden and handed down to her by her deceased father, Richard Croft (played by Jolie's real-life estranged father, Jon Voight). Lara must obtain the talisman and destroy it in order to stop it falling into the wrong-doing hands of the illuminati.

Let it be said, the plot isn't great, and if you're expecting an in-depth, thinking-man's film, then go elsewhere. This film is about guns, vehicles, action and Angelina Jolie jumping around in tight clothing. And as an action movie it succeds in entertaining. It has some very cool moments, and if you're looking to fill an bored 90 minutes of your life, I think you could do a lot worse than this.

Shocking

I truly terrible film with no real plot.

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

Average Film, Top-notch Angelina

The best thing about this film has to be Angelina Jolie. She makes the role her own with great ability in the action scenes and a perfect English 'Lara Croft style' accent. Sadly, what the film makes up for in Jolie's performance it lacks in depth. The film ends up as a mis-mash of action scenes banged together. Though slickly directed in parts, it lacks the flare of its genres competitors.

In short this is an average action movie with a top-notch leading lady.

Not as bad as you think!!!

I have to say that before I watched this film I had been pre-warned about how 'bad' it was!

However, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

If you're expecting some epic blockbuster then you are sure to be disappointed, but if you are prepared for an action packed, stunt filled entertaining film with out having to use your brain too much, then this film is 'A' class!

I loved it!!

alright if you've nothing else to do

alright if you've nothing else to do. poor casting in angelina joli in my opinion.celebrity over-shadows character.movie wasnt as stylised as comics and was worse off for it.

Not what I expected although don't know what expected with this one. Did not enjoy, sswitched of half way through, but was told by partner that it was an all right film, so judging it on that.
