In a summer where the special effects in movies have grown steadily more repetitive and dreary, "LCTR:TCOL" uses imagination and exciting locations to give the movie the same kind of pulp adventure feeling we get from the Indiana Jones movies.
However caricatured a vision of female empowerment, Lara Croft exercises an irresistible tug not just on the adolescent male imagination but the 12-year-old female imagination as well.

Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life is an excellent sequel to continue this new and exciting adventure series for the astonishing Angelina Jolie.
Report
Simply a series of set pieces designed to insure Angelina Jolie's status as action-babe pin-up.
Even sex can't save a film that produces instant narcolepsy.
Superior to 2001's "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" in almost every way. It's better directed, more consistently acted, and its writing, while at times ridiculous, at least has a modicum of logic at its core. I still had to slap myself to stay awake.
In a summer of surprisingly self-serious comic book movies" Lara Croft "stands out as being particularly humorless.
It wouldn't be fair to gripe about the hundreds of plot holes; the whole thing is hole.
[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

Equally as good as the first. It's just like the video game. So there storyline was pretty much made for them. Good movie though.

It is an O.K. movie and good adaptation. It captures the essence of the games. However it is not good enough to be a masterpiece or even get a sequel. For me it is weaker than the prequel. Its hard to explain but I try my best. Basically they did the same as in the first movie. It does not connect with me or lets say it creates not the emotions and impact. If feels like moving on a “To do” list at times. For itself it is a chase around the world were again the ultimate price awaits at the end. The acting is good. Angelina Jolie and Gerard Butler deliver their respected roles. The antagonist are menacing. The sets are good and the soundtrack is fitting. I think I said already everything here. Overall a watchable movie but not remember-able enough. Most people and even fans have forgotten that it exist.

Angelina Jolie.......................................................................................................... YES!

Man, why won't people know that game-adapted movies don't have the capacity to become equal as those from the pure brain? "The Cradle of Life" is a very appropriate example and solution for my statement. Its terrible, worse than the prequel. Avoid the movie and watch something alse.
