The film will not exactly win any awards for the screenplay or acting, but it is nevertheless entertaining enough with a blend of wonderful action and adventure. More realistic than the first installment with awesome scenery. The film is unfortunately way too silly at times as they try to recreate the wittiness of the first film but it simply falls flat. I must admit, as stupid as the scene was where Lara Croft punches a Great White on the nose, it had me crying with laughter (at just how silly it was!) The film does become wonderfully creepy towards the end, compensating for the silly humor earlier in the film.

Adventurer Lara Croft goes on a quest to save the mythical Pandora's Box, before an evil scientist finds it, and recruits a former Marine turned mercenary to assist her. Angelina Jolie is brilliant casted as Tomb Raider and owns every single scene she is in from punching a shark to riding a motorcycle. Gerard Butler, Til Schweiger and Ciarán Hinds are also great in their parts. The action is dazzling and it does feel like being inside a videogame at times, the effects are alright for their time and even tho it's not as great as the first film it's still a good videogame film in a Franchise that gets alot of hate for nothing and i hope that the Remake is at least decent or even as good as this film or the one before it. (9/10)

Lara Croft Tomb Rauder: the Cradle of Life is a mediocre movie with a good storyline and a mediocre cast.Like the first,it's simply another adventure movie that may have plenty of great action sequences,but it lacks the amount of depth we've seen in adventures like Indiana Jones or Star Wars,they put in a lot of time and dialogue to make sure the audience really cares for its characters and supports them throughout their journey, something that the Lara Croft series simply didn't focus on enough.This movie is, however,an improvement from its predecessor,it's certainly not a massive one,but I did find this more enjoyable,I was sucked in to the story a lot more and Angelina Jolie seemed more confident and pure in her performance,there is no denying that she was perfect casting for the role,it's just a shame that this series wasn't as good as it could have been,she easily could have became the female Indiana Jones.Its certainly nothing outstanding and its quite forgetful,but Lara Croft Tomb Raider: the Cradle of Life can make for a quick and fun watch if you ever see it on television and have some time to kill. Archaeologist Lara Croft must track down a mad bioweapons genius who threatens to unleash a deadly plague.Best Performance: Angelina Jolie Worst Performance: Ciarán Hinds
