Review of Lara Croft: Tomb Raider

It amazes me to see all the negative comments made about this film. You either like action films or not. Angelina Joile works so well as the intrepid, intelligent, tough, refined and VERY HEAVILY ARMED character of Laura Croft; the daughter of an archeologist who died some years earlier. She is thrust into an intriguing chain of events that involve a mysterious artifact that has the power to alter space and time and the secret evil society known as the Illuminati that seek to "appropriate" it from her. She adapts to the role flawlessly and fights, shoots, swims, jumps and even showers (in the water closet)(wink-wink) to the delight of all those who play the Tomb Raider games and those othes who do not but may start after seeing this movie. This is another movie that HAS to be added to all our collections of action films. Angelina worked so hard making the film and she deserves kudos for her performance. So stop being jealous of her and try to be a little more like her. Playing the PC based computer game can help. It is a GREAT way to relax after a long day at the office. Just have fun with the thing and remember that no one ever erected a statue to a critic!
