March 7, 2012No one could fit into this role better than Angelina Jolie. Not only does it have a superbly selected cast, the action sequences are thrilling and best of all everything else in the movie distracts you entirely from the plot that although isnt that great is very, very imaginative.

September 18, 2011Not so entertaining. Some pretty bad effects...and a not so interesting plot. Almost a 3 star...close but no cigar.

August 25, 2011As a major fan of the video game and with a deep, unrelenting contempt for Angelina Jolie, this movie had a lot to prove to me and for the most part did. Witty and fast paced, I felt that it remained true to the character of Lara Croft and the franchise, even if I felt it was sli... read more

August 3, 2011I saw Tomb Raider a while back. I was excited, the intro looked really good, and I couldn't wait until the end! Turns out the irony of that statement is just that, I wanted it to end! The very beginning is great, the very end is great, but in-between it's just... well, boring. Ta... read more

June 27, 2011This movie kicked off my love of women on screen with British accents... even if Angelina isn't a Brit

April 11, 2011Being a fan of the video game in my teens, I of course was very excited about seeing this film when it came out. I really enjoyed this film I thought it was a good action film that really capture the feel of the game very well. Angelina Jolie is quite good in the role of Lara Cro... read more

September 25, 2010fb733768972Lara Croft Tomb raider serves as a pretty weak film overall, but often has great action to make up for it's faults. Tomb Raider is a pretty average film that I did not quite care for, but I may watch a few more times for enjoyment!

August 5, 2010It's amazing how dated this film is already. It's fairly awful but not a bad adaption of the game itself, it's just that playing the game is much more fun!

March 15, 2010back in the beginning of her "i have big lips and big titties so i dont have to really act" approach... didnt work for me

Stephen Hunter, Washington Post
Loud, banal, empty, frenzied, plasticized, flavorless, drab, violent in a bloodless way and sexy in a sexless way. Full Review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
In the department of numbing ineptitude, the pacing runs a neck-and-neck race with the dialogue.
June 22, 2001
Michael Atkinson, Village Voice
So pandering and pebble-brained you'd guess it had been test-screened on barnyard animals. Full Review

Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter
There is more tension in Jolie's T-shirts than in the dramatic action.

David Edelstein, Slate
[Jolie's] glittering, libidinous impudence gives this packaged piece of corporate schlock a strange integrity -- perhaps even a soul. Full Review

Peter Howell, Toronto Star
Tomb Raider's preoccupation with time is puzzling, given the movie's leisurely pace. Full Review
June 15, 2001
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
The herald of a cold, heartless, soul-dead cinema for a numbed audience with no interest in human emotion, just a craving to have its synapses jolted. Full Review
June 15, 2001
Joe Baltake, Sacramento Bee
The miracle is that Lara Croft: Tomb Raider is no stunt. Somehow, they made a genuine movie out of it. Full Review

John Anderson, Newsday
Highly anticipated adaptation of the popular computer game is uneven, sometimes awkward, but Angelina Jolie makes the title character a virtual icon of female competence and coolth. Full Review
