Plot: A popular video game comes to the screen with this big-budget adventure starring Angelina Jolie as a buxom heroine recalling equal parts Indiana Jones and James Bond. Jolie is Lara Croft, a proper British aristocrat groomed at schools for the children of the elite. Croft leads a double life, however, as an acquirer of lost antiquities through questionable means, highly trained in combat skills with the help of a robotic opponent called Simon. Despite her exciting profession and a life of wealth and breeding, Lara pines for her father, Lord Croft (Jon Voight), whose passing left her orphaned. On the eve of a celestial event that will also mark the anniversary of Lord Croft's death, Lara comes up against an ancient organization called the Illuminati, represented by the sinister Powell (Iain Glen), who's in pursuit of an ancient relic with power over time and even death itself. With the aid of her high-tech support team, Lara travels to some exotic locales in search of the artifact, including a foray into a decrepit Asian temple guarded by lethal stone apes and other creatures that spring to life. Filmed at various locations in Great Britain as well as Iceland and the Angkor Wat temples of Cambodia, Tomb Raider co-stars Noah Taylor, Chris Barrie, Daniel Craig, Rachel Appleton, Leslie Phillips, Mark Collie, and Julian Rhind-Tutt. ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

The Female Indiana Jones
Added 3/6/2009

Angeline Jolie, gives us the female version of "Indiana Jones" in this wild cartoon-like adventure story, which is fun to watch. Being a mentally lightweight action film with no credibility (no villain ever harms Jolie in this film despite firepower that would take out some Third World countries) but our heroine is there to save the day, of course!

Jolie mainly is there to show off her chest in tight tee-shirts and perform near-impossible stunts. To her credit, she went to extreme lengths to get herself physically-fit for the role.

Audio-wise, this is a one of the better DVDs you will ever hear, with excellent use of the surround speakers. Nice scenery, a sharp picture and low profanity also are pluses. Yes, the action is a little much and too loud in spots but otherwise "Tomb Raider" is a fun adventure that is recommended to all.

p.s. Skip the sequel; it's a weak one.

This was made when Angelina was still nuts, I'm just not sure if she was still blood in a vial nuts. Fun movie, don't be looking for anything deep, but some solid research done on the mythological ideas. Oh, Angelina looks outstanding.

Great action flick
Added 12/10/2008

If you are a fan of the Tomb Raider games, Angelina Jolie, or action movies where you don't need to think, then this is the film for you. I absolutely love this movie as well as the second, although I believe this one has a better story-line. This is a great action flick and Angelina Jolie performed well. She did all her own stunts which makes the movie more believable. It's a great film for anyone from the age of a teenager on up.

Angelina Jolie rocks in both of the Tomb Raiders, but my personal favorite is 1. Though the second is great too, it Definitely tones down a bit as in hype. The first one's got everything from action to comedy. I definitely recommend this action flick to anyone who likes seeing bad guys and monsters getting their a-hole kicked...by a beautiful woman in tights.
