\"\"<\/a>Lara Croft: Tomb Raider<\/em><\/strong> is a fun and entertaining action-adventure, in the cheesy kind of way that features a charismatic performance from Angelina Jolie who seemed to have been made for the part and some absurd CGI to go along with Daniel Craig\u2019s laughably bad American accent.<\/p>\n

Plot Summary: <\/strong>Exploring lost empires, finding priceless treasures, punishing villains in mortal combat… it\u2019s all in a day\u2019s work for adventurer Lara Croft (ANGELINA JOLIE). But a secret from her father\u2019s (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. Lara must find the Triangle before it falls into the clutches of the Illuminati, a secret society bent on world domination. 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).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Quick Hit Review: <\/strong>Make no mistake, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider<\/em><\/strong> 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<\/em> reboot.<\/p>\n

As for this incarnation, I actually have enjoyed it the now 3-4 times I\u2019ve watched over the years. No, the acting isn\u2019t 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. On the downside, Daniel Craig\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
