8/3/2023 0 Comments Tomb raider 2 movieHere, he just can’t make an exciting action/adventure despite Jolie’s bad-ass-ness. Unfortunately there was another 100 (or so) minutes to go in what was lackluster and, frankly, quite dull under the direction of Jan de Bont, who is mainly known as a cinematographer on such films as Die Hard, Basic Instinct and The Hunt for the Red October. This one has her kicking ass once again, including in an opening sequence which was the best of the entire movie. Quick Hit Review: Lara Croft: Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life is a sequel where the original was objectively not very good in its own right, and yet still was entertaining in a popcorn kind of way in conjunction with Angelina Jolie kicking ass and looking gorgeous while doing it. She knows he’s the best for the mission, but can she trust him again? Join her as she races against time and save mankind’s future. For this adventure, Lara recruits her ex-lover – Terry Sheridan (GERARD BUTLER) – a dangerous mercenary who has previously betrayed Lara and their country. She must travel the globe, from Greece to Hong Kong to Kenya and beyond to get to the box before it’s found by a maniacal scientist (CIARAN HINDS) whose plan is to use it for mass annihilation. Plot Synopsis: Lara Croft (ANGELINA JOLIE) is back in action and faces her most perilous mission: to recover what ancient civilization believed to be the essence of all evil, Pandora’s Box. TOMB RAIDER: THE CRADLE OF LIFE (2003) - 2.5/5 On the downside, Daniel Craig’s attempted American accent was awful yet hilarious as he strained his lines and Iain Glen as the bad guy was a bit weak but serviceable enough. No, the acting isn’t all that great, though Angelina Jolie embodies the role of Croft rather nicely (mainly physically if you catch my drift) but the action set-pieces were pretty good while the CGI was hit or miss, but adequate for 2001. Quick Hit Review: Make no mistake, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider is not a good movie but I guess if one would grade on a scale and compare it to other video game to film adaptations, it sadly one of the better ones out there with nothing on the horizon that appears all that promising, and that includes the Alicia Vikander Tomb Raider reboot.Īs for this incarnation, I actually have enjoyed it the now 3-4 times I’ve watched over the years. To stop the Illuminati, Lara will have to survive a cross-continental chase filled with unimaginable danger against formidable foe Manfred Powell (IAIN GLEN) and an ex-lover and fellow Tomb Raider (DANIEL CRAIG). Lara must find the Triangle before it falls into the clutches of the Illuminati, a secret society bent on world domination. But a secret from her father’s (JON VOIGHT) past is about to lead Lara to her greatest challenge: The Triangle of Light, a legendary artifact with the power to alter space and time. Plot Summary: Exploring lost empires, finding priceless treasures, punishing villains in mortal combat… it’s all in a day’s work for adventurer Lara Croft (ANGELINA JOLIE).
