Pros: Angelina Jolie does stuff and looks good doing it
Cons: Where should I start?
Summary: There are many times when the logic used by movie producers escapes me. Video games-based movies, for instance. If good games like Super Mario Bros., Street Fighter II, and Final Fantasy can't be made into decent movies, then why would producers even ... read more

Pros: Will thrill all video game freaks and teen-age girls, and Angelina Jolie droolers.
Cons: Most adults don't fit any of these categories.
Summary: My tastes in movies isn't really as eclectic as this title (Lara Croft; Tomb Raider) might suggest. The truth is that I have a teen-aged daughter who ragged me so unmercifully that I simply had to get and watch this one. I now know better than ... read more

Pros: None!
Cons: Poor Plot, Poor Story Line, Does NOT Follow The Game
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: Angelina Jolie.
Cons: The script, the acting, the special effects, the editing.....

Pros: Better than banging your head against a wall for an hour and a half
Cons: very sterotyped, idealistic female character
Summary: Okay, this movie has been billed as the Indiana Jones of the new generation. Well, it could have been, with better writing and acting. Instead, what you get is eye candy merged with a plot probably pulled off of a Tomb Raider message board.

Pros: Angelina Jolie is certainly in the right spirit.
Cons: If we wanted generic Indiana Jones adventures, we'd watch another Mummy sequel.
Summary: In this popular video game-turned-movie, Angelina Jolie certainly looks the part of archaeologist heroine Lara Croft, strapping twin gun holsters to her thighs, sporting plenty of tight shirts, and topping it all off with her trademark smirk and pillowy ... read more
