The #1 Sign of a Really, Really Bad Movie
It features Angelina Jolie in spandex for two hours -- but I am forced to shut it off after 50 minutes.

shareI'm pretty sure the only reason anyone really watched this was to see Angelina in nice form fitting clothes. Those people, and fans of the games.
shareSee, this was my complaint too. I'm not a huge fan of the games, but am familiar with them and Lara Croft. I certainly like Angelina. I figured no matter how bad this was, I would enjoy it somewhat... at least Ms. Jolie would be sexy, right? Well, I just find it so dull! The sequel too! I once heard a commentary that said the movies were "made for gay male gamers" and while that's obviously being snarky for the sake of it, it's almost true... they seem to do their best to NOT "play up" Angelina/Lara's sexiness (despite the obvious ease of doing so AND how great she looks in the movies) AND to find the dullest plots with the most shallow supporting characters possible.
I normally just say "whatever" to films I don't like and move on, but this one really bugged me because it COULD have been at least FUN (if not a great movie) but I just don't know what they were thinking.
What's worse, is that IMO Angelina makes a FANTASTIC Lara Croft.
Relic Hunter (the TV series) is actually sexier AND more like "Tomb Raider" to me that the two movies.
Then, you travel all the way onto the web to visit this small section of a massive database and throw away 'more' of your time.
Bravo, well done that man
Hey, exploring one's own opinion is never a waste of time!
I rated this movie a 4. Unimpressive and dull, but it could have been a lot worse. And as mentioned it does have Angelina Jolie.
erm... she did NOT wear spandex in the movie. Not one scene.
She wore the outfit Lara Croft in the games wears and then tight trousers and shirt. She was all dirty fighting Bad guys. If you find that sexy then okay.
Also it only runs 100 minutes where did you get those extra 20? lol
and since when seen a good looking woman in tight clothes became a sign that is a bad movie? Halle Berry's Catwoman aside of course... lol
Try the first game (from '96) or the second one (from '97), and feel the difference between genious games and sucky movies.
sharethe bad sign was that he had to shut it off...sheesh!
