Review of Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001) by Duke_Nukem — 05 Oct 2015
Style over substance, anyone?
This could have been a great movie, based on a great game... but it's not! Making Angelina Jolie grunt and sigh like Lara Croft is not enough to make a good movie. It might be enough to make pubertal young boys get excited, but true Tomb Raider fans wont be pleased at all.
The movie does not bring back the memories of the game. The game is all about adventure, exotic exploration... just like the movie Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark. But this movie doesn't deliver any tension or feeling of adventure.
It seems the makers of this movie had no fantasy at all and only tried to deliver some nice images and not much of a story. It's like someone said: it doesn't feel like a movie but like a video game playing itself.
The only good about this movie is Angelina Jolie in the shower, at least they didn't totally waste our time for 100 mins.
