Lara Croft: Tomb Raider

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider is incredibly silly. So silly in fact, that you just have to respect it.

Some great action sequences, but not much else.

[A] movie based on a video game that's unafraid to look absurd but lacks the self-conviction needed to come off as camp.

A jerky, fragmented tale that jumps from one exotic location to the next without any explanation or flow.

Not disastrous, but somewhat disappointing nonetheless.

In the end, for all her ber-babe sexiness, there is something just a wee bit humourless about Angelina Jolie.

A thoroughly numb and insulting excuse for an adventure.

Where's the quickening of the pulse, the racing of the heart, the holding of the breath? With Lara Croft Tomb Raider, the most a viewer can expect is the numbing of the brain and the closing of the eyelids.

Jolie was in tip top shape for this role, and she did a very good job bringing this video game icon to life.

Although the idea of a female adventurer (essentially a counterpart to Indiana Jones) sounds exploitable, the execution of her feats are incredibly pitiful.
