Critics Consensus

Angelina Jolie is perfect for the role of Lara Croft, but even she can't save the movie from a senseless plot and action sequences with no emotional impact.

Crazy, but awesome. And Angelina Jolie is the only one who could pull this movie off.

3 & 1/4 stars. A solid action, adventure film starring the terrific Angelina Jolie. A very young Daniel Craig shows off his body but doesn't have many lines.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Unfortunately terrible. Based off the popular game series "Tomb Raider" you see throughout the movie a terrible rendition of it. Lara Croft comes across senseless and dry, not coming close to fulfilling the character combined with bad writing creates an overall bad recreation of a good idea.

What a blast! This is what the magic of movie making is all about! Such a good, comforting, entertaining, action packed adventure that is being offered to the viewer with this blockbuster. They don't make movies like this anymore. Fans of the original Core Design Tomb Raider games agree that Angelina Jolie is the personification of Lara Croft. Here I'd like to thank Angelina Jolie for not disappointing us fans. This film will always be in my heart and even after some 30+ re-watchings make me feel like a kid. Amaaaaazing plot, soundtrack, cinematography, acting skills, filmed locations, special effects, mood. The only disappointing thing about this film is that time goes by so quickly and you'll still want more.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider is incredibly silly. So silly in fact, that you just have to respect it.

Some great action sequences, but not much else.

[A] movie based on a video game that's unafraid to look absurd but lacks the self-conviction needed to come off as camp.

Film Frenzy

Where's the quickening of the pulse, the racing of the heart, the holding of the breath? With Lara Croft Tomb Raider, the most a viewer can expect is the numbing of the brain and the closing of the eyelids.

Rated: 2/4

Jolie was in tip top shape for this role, and she did a very good job bringing this video game icon to life.

Rated: 2.5/5

Gone With The Twins

Although the idea of a female adventurer (essentially a counterpart to Indiana Jones) sounds exploitable, the execution of her feats are incredibly pitiful.
