Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

paulclaassen A wonderful blend of action, adventure, fantasy and a bit of silly humor in the mix, as well. Angelina Jolie is great as the protagonist. She does this demanding role with such ease. The unnecessary destruction of property ruins potentially good action scenes at times, but otherwise the action sequences are great fun (note: great fun; not great).

lilu444-1 She was phenomenal in this. Appreciate her coolness now more than ever after the new "reboot" came out....

Minahzur Rahman It was a good action movie. The movie was based of the popular video game on Playstation 1. I only saw it because I played the game, and I really liked playing it. It was one of my favourite Playstation 1 games back then, so it's inevitable I would eventually see this movie. Lara Croft: Tomb Raider was entertaining. Don't expect too much though. Just enjoy it for what it was. It feels almost similar to the video game.

Thomas Drufke Lara Croft: Tomb Raider is one of those movies that is very difficult to go back and re-watch. It's not just because the special effects are more than dated or that the story feels very generic, it's because the Hollywood we knew in 2001 is very different from the Hollywood we know now. This movie would be absolutely ripped to shreds if it came out now, and to a certain extent it was back then as well. I'm sorry, but you can't just get away with having a mind-blowingly pointless shower scene and that other thing they shamelessly did to enhance Lara. Yeah, that doesn't fly.It's also interesting just to look at this film as a product of its age because of how much it feels like it's trying to be something that it's not. Tomb Raider is supposed to be an adventure first and action second type of franchise. Or at least that's always the way I viewed it. But this film rips so many pages out from the playbook of The Matrix and other 90's classic action movies and tries to weave a halfway decent adventure story into the film as well. Having the Illuminati as the 'big bad' of the film is one thing, but silly CGI flooded sequences with zero weight behind them is a whole other problem the film faces.But I think the thing that this film does most poorly is flush out Lara Croft as her own character. If you look at her in the first scene and the last scene, there really isn't much growth or difference as to how she does about her life. In order for there to be a point to making the film, there needs to be some sort of growth or arc, or else what was really accomplished in the end?4.2/10
