is certainly better than its 2001 predecessor, but its appeal is mostly aimed at fans of the video games that inspired both movies. That pretty much leaves you with some fun but familiar action sequences, and the ever-alluring sight of Angelina Jolie (reprising her title role) as she swims, swings, kicks, shoots, flies, jet-skis, motorcycles, and free-falls her way toward saving the world, this time by making sure that a grimacing villain (Ciarán Hinds) doesn't open Pandora's Box (yes, the actual mythological object) and unleash a deadly plague that will "weed out" the global population. Exotic locations add to Jolie's own coolly erotic appeal, but we're left wondering if this franchise has anywhere else to go. --Jeff Shannon

Suspense and romance - just Gerry.
What can I say...where would
Lara
Croft
be without Gerry Butler around the corner? He is believable in most any role and is such eye candy...it should have been easy for Lara to have lost interest in Pandora's Box with Gerry back in her
life
....
an action movie with a woman
I like movies that have some action in them. But what I really like in this movie is that it is a women that is strong willed and can get it done. Most movies have the man as the risk taker but the stunts and effects in this movie make it fun to watch.
"Your're A Hard Act To Follow Croft" ~ Rocking The Cradle As Only Lara Can
The further adventures of the fabulously sexy and deadly
Lara
Croft
continue in the '03 sequel `Lara Croft
Tomb
Raider
- The
Cradle
of
Life
'. This film is definitely a worthy addition to the Croft mythos sending Lara in search of not so mythical Pandora's Box. Not alone in her quest, she find herself in competition with a ruthless foe determined to possess the box and release a plague upon mankind for which he possesses the only antidote.
As with the film the production values are first rate, the action fast and furious and Angelina looks fantastic. The inclusion of Gerard Butler as fellow treasure hunter and Lara's love interest is also a welcome addition to the cast. On the slightly negative side, I found the dialogue not quite as crisp as in the first film and the exclusion of that tight fitting, bluish-purple shorts outfit of Lara's was an unfortunate choice.
As far as the plot, I liked the premise and the execution of the storyline for the most part but was marginally disappointed by the ending. It wasn't quite as spectacular as one might have expected. Be that as it may, `Lara Croft Tomb Raider - The Cradle of Life' is a lot of fun, I enjoyed it!

Great Movies Are Hard to Find
I'm a fan of most Angelina Jolie films, but her series of
Lara
Croft
Tomb
Raider
films are great. There is so much action & adventure that these films don't leave you bored. The actors that work with her are a good group and transform into a great cast of characters. We have made these movies among our top picks to take on vacations/trips with our portable DVD player.
