Consensus: Though the sequel is an improvement over the first movie, it's still lacking in thrills.

Reviews for Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life
Lara Croft searching for a mystical "box"? Why DOESN'T Cradle of Life play this for laughs?
07/25/03
Anyone who appreciates aesthetic pleasures will enjoy Tomb Raider 2 on a certain non-visceral level.
07/25/03
With movies of this sort becoming as prevalent as they are, there has to be more than just expensive looking stunts on display.
07/25/03
More Indiana Jones than James Bond, Lara Croft does better this time around with exotic locales and an almost down-to-earth story.
07/25/03
Another sequel cashing in on its pre-sold audience without providing anything by way of sparkle, wit or originality.
07/25/03
For a movie based on a video game, the story is as far-fetched and the characters as one-dimensional as one might expect.
07/25/03
While there's compelling evidence that Angelina Jolie is a real person, you'd never guess it watching Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle Of Life.
07/25/03
Top CriticMore like a Cradle of Tedium, and despite the high-decibel sound and fury, you may wish you had brought a pillow.
07/25/03
Without sacrificing velocity, de Bont gives us a clean, watchable film, with some exciting sequences.
07/25/03
Top CriticThe movie is an embarrassment of asinine riches.
07/25/03
She may be playing yet another (so-called) empowered woman in yet another film made for teenage boys, but you get the impression that Jolie is far too intimidating and too womanly to fit into their pathetic little fantasies.
07/25/03
Here [Lara's] a cookie-cutter action hero.
07/25/03
There are levels of acceptable stupidity in summer movies, but I'm afraid Lara Croft too often dips below the line.
07/25/03
Tedious, clunky and, for the big budget and all the exotic locales, surprisingly chintzy-looking.
07/25/03
The best thing about Cradle of Life? It's a whole half-hour shorter than Bad Boys II.
07/25/03
'Tomb Braider' is able to leap from tall buildings, jump a motorcycle off the Great Wall of China, flip a speeding jet ski, and trick-shoot while riding sidesaddle - all without messing up her hair.
07/25/03
Banal dialogue, ludicrous and uninspired plotting, dull but vicious fight scenes.
07/25/03
Top CriticThe storytellers behind The Cradle of Life concentrate mostly on transportation: the best parts of the movie depict our heroes getting from place to place.
07/25/03
Uninvolving and formulaic, spiced up in the stretch with a couple of CGI (and looking every bit like it) Tree Hulk-type monsters.
