Advantages: Good action shots, Angelina Jolie Disadvantages: Poor Story
LaraCroft has made the transfer from computer generated heart throb in the tombraider games series to a star on the big screen in the form of Angelina Jolie in the smash film of the same name – ‘TombRaider’.
The film starts with a bang, seeing our heroine Lara face to face with a monster robot in an ancient ruin fighting for her life, guns blazing and some very nice moves. However it is all a mock, mere practice and relaxation for LaraCroft, but it fooled me into thinking it was real.
The real plot is LaraCroft is the daughter of the famous explorer Lord Croft, (Jon Voight) who was tragically lost or missing from one of his trips. Lara, (Angelina Jolie) has inherited her fathers’ sense of action and adventure herself, and finds her biggest challenge yet as she is out to protect the world from evil as ...
Advantages: Angelina Jolie action lady Disadvantages: too child like for my liking
.g. Angelina Jolie. If you hire or buy the DVD you will be able to watch the special features section. In that section there is a video showing you what Angelina had to do to play the part of LaraCroft. She obviously worked hard to try and perfect the part and during the film she does most of her own stunts, something other action actors and actresses should take note of. In my opinion, Angelina was the best thing in the film and probably the best person to play the part of LaraCroft. She is sexy, fit, young and determined. Although I must say that some parts of her body sometimes looked too fake. I think Angelina is brilliant in this film.
Some action sequences will tempt the taste buds of action film fans, I certainly found them appealing. Angelina doesn't let the character of LaraCroft down in any way whatsoever, even her English accent is ...
Advantages: Great action film Disadvantages: Script is a little weak
not to spoil the film if you wish to see it.
Obviously, many will say that LaraCroft (Angelina Jolie) provides a performance that will please any man, and her great English accent deserves a mention, but the desperately predictable and dry script does her no justice.
However, please note that Lara's Assistant, played by Chris Barrie (Rimmer from Red Dwarf), also deserves a mention for his great performance.
Yes, this is a very predictable film, but nevertheless, if you like sheer action, you'll love this!

DVD Description
A set of two action adventures featuring Oscar-winning actresses. It's the 25th century and a virus has wiped out most of the Earth's population. The last vestige of humanity lies beyond Bregna, a futuristic walled city in which the inhabitants live sterile, genetically controlled lives. An underground resistance group known as the Monicans send their top operative Aeon Flux (a raven-haired Charlize Theron) to assassinate Bregna's leader. Torn between her loyalty to her people and the desire to avenge her sister's murder, she is unable to complete her task, and ends up protecting the leader from his own brother. Based on a series of animated shorts that aired on MTV, this live-actioner delves deep into sibling relationships that often border on love and hate. Theron, who performed most of her own stunts, glides through the film in barely-there outfits, jumping, running, slinking, diving, and cart-wheeling her way through dangerous situations with animated ease. LARA CROFT - TOMB RAIDER stars Angelina Jolie as Croft, a tough, sexy, heavily armed adventurer. Fans of the cult video game on which the film is based will undoubtedly already be familiar with the plot, which sees Croft blasting her way past various monsters, villains, and pitfalls as she traverses the globe in search of a mysterious ancient artefact that holds the key to her dead father's involvement with a secretive group known as the Illuminati. Jolie is perfectly cast as the voluptuous, trigger-happy heroine, and sports a fine British accent.
