Popular video game character Lara Croft returns to the big screen in this sequel to LARA CROFT: TOMB RAIDER. Intrepid British archaeologist Lara Croft (Angelina Jolie) has made...
more...perhaps the most important archaeological discovery in history: an orb that leads to the mythical Pandora's Box. Unfortunately, the orb falls into the hands of Jonathan Reiss (Ciaran Hinds), an evil scientist who deals in killer viruses and hopes to sell the secrets of the box as the ultimate weapon. Recruited by British Intelligence to get the orb back from Reiss, Lara enlists Terry Sheridan (Gerard Butler), a British marine turned mercenary--and her former love interest--to help. The two embark on an adventure that spans continents in an attempt to regain the orb. Lara is a walking advertisement for "girl power." She's brilliant, athletic, courageous, and saucy. She flips jet skis, parachutes to safety from tall buildings, dives, rides horses--nothing seems beyond her. Best of all, Lara is one of the good ones--she'll do whatever she must to keep the world safe. Directed by Jan de Bont, this film was shot on location in Greece, Kenya, Hong Kong, England, and Wales.

Review of Lara Croft - Tomb Raider 2: The Cradle Of Life (DVD) by Great_reviewer07

Advantages: Entertaining
Disadvantages: Not quite as good as the first

Lara Kicks Ass!
Review of Lara Croft - Tomb Raider 2: The Cradle Of Life (DVD) by the_mad_cabbie

Advantages: Excellent adventure yarn. Great stunts. Georgeous leading lady.
Disadvantages: Not a lot. (But you wouldn't think it reading the poor reviews!

...back in the early 1990’s, Lara Croft has been a firm favourite in the ‘mad cabbie’ household. Of course, they were ostensibly bought for the wee lass, (my now twelve-year-old daughter) but in truth, her old dad probably got as much pleasure out of them as she did. So it was hardly surprising that when the first Tomb Raider movie, starring Angelina Jolie, came out in 2001 that it was immediately purchased on video, (I didn’t ... Read review

Advantages: Easy to watch, plenty of action, good cast
Disadvantages: Bit predictable

...on Sky this month is Lara Croft: The Cradle of Life and although I did watch this on DvD when it first came out I decided that I would like to watch it again. ~The Greek Myth behind Pandora‘s Box~ taken from http://atschool.eduweb.co.uk/carolrb/greek/greek1.html At one time the only mortals on earth were men and the god Prometheus had made them, Athene had breathed life into them but the chief god Zeus did not like them.

Everything lost is meant to be found.
Review of Lara Croft - Tomb Raider 2: The Cradle Of Life (DVD) by LR_17

Advantages: Good potential storyline
Disadvantages: Predictable and weak acting

...with another film review on Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life. I shall of course start in the usual fashion when doing one of my film reviews with a couple of quotes from some critics: "After a while, you stop speculating how Croft will wriggle out of each fine mess and start checking your watch." Gene Seymour, NEWSDAY "When we're not offered dime-store CGI or cardboard Temple Settings, we're attacked by action sequences that waver ... Read review

Lara on the big screen ( Updated )
Review of Lara Croft - Tomb Raider 2: The Cradle Of Life (DVD) by lisa2062

Advantages: action packed, amazing special effects
Disadvantages: Some may find it all too predictable.

...I was excited about seeing Lara Croft's character being transformed into a real life character on the big screen! Having thoroughly enjoyed Angelina Jolie's first big screen outing as Lara croft, I was eager to see if the sequel could live up to it! The critics gave it a very poor review but this didn't deter me from purchasing the DVD on the day of its release, and I certainly wasn't disappointed. Plot Lara Croft ( Angelina Jolie) returns ...

Quick review of Lara Croft - Tomb Raider 2: The Cradle Of Life (DVD)
Review of Lara Croft - Tomb Raider 2: The Cradle Of Life (DVD) by Soumyadeep

The movie is about adventure in Africa about a cradle of life. Angelina jolie plays the lead role, and is a great adventure movie. The surrounding shots of Africa are superb. The dvd stands tall on both audio and video fronts.
