Editorial Review:
Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, The Cradle of Life is certainly better than its 2001 predecessor, but its appeal is mostly aimed at fans of the video games that inspired both movies. That pretty much leaves you with some fun but familiar action sequences, and the ever-alluring sight of Angelina Jolie (reprising her title role) as she swims, swings, kicks, shoots, flies, jet-skis, motorcycles, and free-falls her way toward saving the world, this time by making sure that a grimacing villain (Ciarán Hinds) doesn't open Pandora's Box (yes, the actual mythological object) and unleash a deadly plague that will "weed out" the global population. Exotic locations add to Jolie's own coolly erotic appeal, but we're left wondering if this franchise has anywhere else to go. --Jeff Shannon

Rating:  - Suspense and romance - just Gerry.
What can I say...where would Lara Croft be without Gerry Butler around the corner? He is believable in most any role and is such eye candy...it should have been easy for Lara to have lost interest in Pandora's Box with Gerry back in her life....

As with the film the production values are first ... Read More
Rating: - an action movie with a woman
I like movies that have some action in them. But what I really like in this movie is that it is a women that is strong willed and can get it done. Most movies have the man as the risk taker but the stunts and effects in this movie make it fun to watch.
Rating:  - Average at best
The best thing about this film is Angelina Jolie, who as we know now can be a fine actress (see A Mighty Heart) as well as looking stunning. However in general this is just an overblown blockbuster with a plot thats similar to that used in the Indiana Jones films. After an admittedly promising beginning this rapidly descends into stunt after stunt followed by explosion after explosion then gun battle after gun battle and unarmed combat fight ad-nauseum. Credit where credit is due the stunts are well ... Read More
