Lara Croft: Tomb Raider

Pros: Oscar winner as star, great action sequences, geeks will really "get it."
Cons: Emotions too subtle for most audiences (who would rather stare at Jolie's breasts anyway.)

As a proud geek and owner of several Tomb Raider games, I must admit I was disappointed when I saw all of the negative reviews the movie received. Most of them center around 3 major complaints:

1. Lara's breasts are too big and...

Pros: Tomb Raider is an action packed adventure with amazing special effects.
Cons: A bit confusing.

Tomb Raider is the movie to see this summer. It is an action packed once in a lifetime film. Angelina Jolie was the perfect actor to play Laura Croft.

If you haven't seen this movie yet then you should go to the nearest theater and see it...

Pros: Lara Croft walking up a mountain with a dead animal on her head
Cons: No story, no real villains, no surprises. You're better off with the game

Watch this movie only if (a) someone is paying for your ticket and popcorn and you won't have to spend a single cent; (b) you like Angelina Jolie regardless of movie, plot, character, or special effects; (c) you've been blackmailed into submission by...

Pros: accurate to the game, Angelina brings Lara to life.
Cons: Angelina Jolie is all lips and hips and ____!

I read some reviews online of the movie before I went to see it. The reviews were average to mediocre, so my expectations for the movie were not high.

The trailers for the movie accurately portray the plot. Angelina Jolie does a great job of...

Pros: good acting, fun story, great action, a woman kicked butt
Cons: Wished it was more like game

Tomb Raider
Starring: Angelina Jolie
Daniel Craig
Jon Voight


Opening night at the theaters, kiddo and I drive up to the theater expecting a line around the block, to our surprise, no line and no wait to see Tomb...

Pros: None!
Cons: Poor Plot, Poor Story Line, Does NOT Follow The Game

I was excited about getting Tomb Raider because I have played the game(s), and for the most part, they are pretty good. What draws people to the games is the climbing, crawling, jumping, sleuthing, and mystery of the Ancient World. You get little to NONE...

Pros: Acting, Sound Story
Cons: ending

This movie is a good action film. The story line is solid yet predictable, but does not suffer for the action.

The acting was well done. Angelina Jolie made an excellent Lara Croft, I can't think of anyone who would have been better. I...

Pros: Angelina Jolie, special effects, soundtrack
Cons: Thin storyline

Inventive is a word I would not use to describe this particular film. It is the latest creation of a genre I call PC to Silver Screen (PC/SS) that lacks originality, yet, is entertaining enough to recommend to those who have not seen it yet. I see a lot...

Pros: She convinced me she was really Lara
Cons: will not appeal to people who don't play the video game

If you haven't played the video game Tomb Raider (hereafter referred to as Tomb Raider), don't bother with the movie. It will appear to be a strange action-adventure with a difficult-to-comprehend plot.

In fact, there isn't a lot of plot....

Pros: They spent a lot of effort on the special effects.
Cons: They didn't spend any effort on a storyline.

TOMBRAIDER (the people involved with this flick usually turn this into one word) is a full scale movie based on an arcade game. Kinda like SUPER MARIO BROTHERS but with less intelligence. Officially the movie is LARA CROFT: TOMB RAIDER, as though...

Pros: Angelina Jolie, good fight scenes
Cons: plot holes, no character development

Angelina Jolie plays Lara Croft, the millionaire daughter of an English lord who is also a tomb raider - namely, an Indiana-Jones-style "archaeologist" who goes treasure-hunting while destroying everything in her path - but always in the name of saving...

Pros: some great action and special effects
Cons: some disapointing special effects

You know I had to go see this movie after being such a big fan of the Tomb Raider games. First of all Angelena Jolie is a super Lara Croft and just seeing her in action is well worth the price of the movie ticket.

The movie starts out a lot...

Pros: It feels pretty ... oh so pretty.
Cons: A lot of flash with no substance.

As far as I can remember, there's never been a really good adaptation of a video game on the silver screen. Super Mario Brothers was downright abysmal, Mortal Kombat was slightly entertaining, but there's never really been a movie that...

Pros: Angelina Jolie and stunts
Cons: Weak plot.

Tomb Raider is a movie based on a computer game. We have seen all kinds of books being converted to movies with some success. But this here is a unique experiment and a rather tough one as well to convert the number one computer game into a movie. T ...

Pros: I was able to get in for $5.00
Cons: I saw Tomb Raider

One of the summers most anticipated films, Tomb Raider, was supposed to take the box office by storm and make loads of cash...or maybe not. The hype was just that, hype. Lucky for me with a college ID I was able to get in for 5 bucks, this is not...
