Doubtless the game will be cherished for years to come, as a big screen franchise though, Tomb Raider looks dead and buried.

Reviews for Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life
Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life hasn’t the nerve to be truly bad, but it’s unexciting, has no attitude, and (despite the camera’s infatuation with Jolie’s figure) is inhumanly sexless.

The first movie had grey stone and blue light and orange beams, and it just looked cooler and more together.

Angelina Jolie returns as video game vixen Lara Croft in a by-the-numbers sequel that is weaker than the original.

Jolie does her best, delivering her mediocre lines like they were the cleverest writing in the history of cinema, but goodwill for the star only carries a film so far.

Angelina Jolie's once again strapped on those hilariously-huge fake bazookas, which are about the only things that lift this movie from its celluloid plateau.

It's better than the first one. Now please stop.

Em uma entrevista para divulgar o filme, Angelina Jolie reclamou que o contorno de seus mamilos haviam sido apagados dos cartazes de divulgação da produção. Da próxima vez, espero que ela se preocupe menos com seus mamilos e mais com o roteiro.

Although Jolie is perfect in the lead with her cartoonishly provocative figure, the comely starlet can’t make this shoddy story work.

I wish I could say that even though the film was predictable and the plot egregiously insipid, that I still managed to get lost while watching the movie and had fun. If only.
08/08/03
The whole movie is gratuitous, in whatever it does. Excessive shooting, jumping, flying, freaking, whatever. Totally disposable.
08/08/03
A vast improvement over its impenetrable 2001 predecessor.
08/08/03
There's a ton of stuff that makes absolutely no sense, and the bad guy could be a bit more colorful but again, please grade using The Bond Curve.
08/07/03
Not enough crazy gynophobia. Perhaps Paul Verhoeven should direct Tomb Raider.
