Better as a game!
I think Angelina Jolie as Laura Croft is one of the best casting decisions Hollywood has ever made. I cannot think of someone that could fit the part better to match the character from the popular video game series. That's about the only thing they got right though.....
I have watched this film a few times and it seems to always be just an average film no matter what mood I am in watching it. It has some good effects and a cool sounding plot as I love anything to do with time.....but they managed to just make the film sort of boring. I find this movie to always make me sleepy around the 45 minute mark. Angelina Jolie is stunning as always and thats about the only thing that might salvage the film if your a guy or a chick thats into chicks.
The fight sequences are poorly choreographed and just reek of trying to be Indiana Jones and James Bond mixed.......I really like the type of movies that have puzzle solving to find ancient artifacts like Indiana Jones and National Treasure but this film didn't play that card very well at all.
As far as to the game, they got the character right.......The duel pistols, the acrobatics, and the cool gadgets......but even though the Tomb Raider games are frustratingly hard I still enjoy them more then this film.

| Angie has great t*ts and they actually padded her for this movie. I couldn't believe that. Of course, I'd never played the game either. |
