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.

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.

A thoroughly numb and insulting excuse for an adventure.

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.

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.
