Lara Croft: Tomb Raider

Pros: Entertaining action movie. Jolie.
Cons: Not much development for characters or plot. Silly at times.

Different things like books or comics have been turned into movies for years. After video games became more popular, some of them were turned into movies with mixed results. Most of the ones I've seen haven't been that good, but there have been some ...

Pros: Another giant leap forward in the history of Generic Hollywood Product.
Cons: This movie does the impossible by making breasts seem tiresome.

From the journals of Lord Croft, world-famous explorer and father of a woman with massive breasts:

My dearest Lara,

If you are reading this letter, that means I am dead. I know lots of movie letters start exactly this way, but...

Pros: “Girl Power!” theme with strong female action stars.
Cons: Reflect Hollywood’s adolescent infatuation with a voluptuous superwoman.

Despite being a huge comic book fan and video game enthusiast, the promise of a dynamic soundtrack with one of my favorite rock bands U2, and Paramount's picture colossal marketing blitz geared toward the electronic crowd, which I happen to belong, I...

Pros: well done action adventure film. Lara has Bounce, and pouty lips
Cons: PG-13

The video game Tomb Raider, along with its' heroine, Lara Croft have been adapted nicely to the big screen. Angelina Jolie plays the sexy treasure stealer in what will most likely be this summers biggest film.

The film itself plays much like...

Pros: Angelina Jolie, Jon Voight
Cons: Derivative and mindless action

I'm not familiar with the Tomb Raider game, as I long ago outgrew my need to play video games for fun. I understand Tomb Raider is one of the most popular video games ever, and that Lara Croft is one of the most popular characters. Now Lara Croft has...

Pros: Oh there must be something...wait... I rather like the manse where Lara lives
Cons: Too many to list...bad,foul, smarmy, boring,

Before you start writing hate mail, or feel you may be offended by a colorful version of the truth, let me invite you to read the next review in line. This review is part of a write-off hosted by annexation and fragglemom. ** See profile...

Pros: Angelina Jolie looks like she stepped off a Milan runway in every shot.
Cons: Pretty much everything else.

Christmas has been duly celebrated at Chateau Maine. As Norman is not here this year for the usual rituals, I invited several members of the studio kids over for presents and general feasting and frivolity. It was a successful party, even if poor...

Pros: Angelina Jolie in tight clothing, lots of action
Cons: Moves along just a bit too quickly

I did not expect too much from Tomb Raider going in. Let's face it - the movie is based on a video game (strike one). It is directed by the same guy who did Con-Air and The General's Daughter (strike two). It is another big budget summer action movie...

Pros: There IS a plot, nice (not exorbitant) special effects
Cons: Her breasts are the real co-stars (maybe not a con for some); editing gaffes

Today for Father’s Day, my wife decided that we would go as a family to dinner and a movie after my festival gig. Even though I’d rather veg after a performance, I didn’t have much choice. So, she checked out the matinees and the restaurants and...

Pros: Angelina Jolie is Lara Croft
Cons: Who are all these other guys?

One of the big surprises of the Video Game world was the success of the shoot-em-up game, Tomb Raider. This was in a large part due to the sexy heroine, Lara Croft, who soon had a slew of web sites dedicated to her... er... prowess. A movie role was sure ...

Pros: Beautiful scenery
Cons: Lousy script, dialogue, acting, music...

"Do you want to go see Tomb Raider?" It all sounded so innocent, but I really should learn to say no to queries like that. Or at least suggest another movie.

Lady Lara Croft [Angelina Jolie] is a bored rich girl who dabbles in...

Pros: Jolie, Action Scenes.
Cons: Plot, Script, very mediocre film, honestly.

I liked this film way more than I should. I'll be honest though, this review is a little biased. I'd enjoy a film that was about Angelina Jolie sleeping. She is, without question, the most beautiful woman in Hollywood. She has a figure that is...

Pros: Luscious Angelina Jolie fulfills your lust for action - action - action
Cons: Muddled script that's based on a video game

There are video-gamers and non-gamers. I fall into the latter category. In addition, in March, my son, Don Granger, was named President of Mutual Pictures, which co-partnered this film with Paramount. For my own integrity, I feel this personal...

Pros: Angelina Jolie + tight leather = good idea
Cons: Angelina Jolie + Terrible script - Even more terrible director = Baaaaad movie

In 1993 an overly hyped live action film version of Nintendo's popular Super Mario Brothers was released.

Other than leaving you with the feeling that you had just died for a little over an hour, it set the stage for one important...

Pros: Non-stop Action
Cons: Real similar to Mummy II

This was your female Indiana Jones movie all the way. Non-stop action all the way through. WOW, this woman is something. She is English, has a title, and is an archaeologist. She hangs upside down, lives in this humongous mansion, fights huge machines,...
