Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life is an improvement over the original as it delivers more action and adventure. Archaeologist and explorer extraordinaire, Lara Croft, journeys to a temple which has sunken underwater in search of lost treasures. During her expedition, Croft happens upon a sphere that contains the mythical Pandora's Box, only to have it stolen from her by Chen Lo, the leader of a Chinese crime syndicate. Chen Lo is in league with a bad guy named Reiss, who wants to use the priceless Box as a doomsday weapon. The plot sounds okay but the main reason someone would see this film is for the action scenes and Angelina Jolie. People just wanting those two things will probably enjoy this film. People that want a good story and better direction should skip this film. The action scenes are really cool and are done well. However, the story is weak and the film doesn't quite make sense at times either. I think the person that should be blamed is Jan de Bont. He is a terrible director and can't build up suspense very well. He did a bit better then Simon West but still the studio should have hired someone else. The acting is good not great but nothing horrible either. Angelina Jolie does a good job of playing Lara Croft and she is also very breathtaking in the film. Gerard Butler does a good job as well though sometimes his performance wasn't very interesting. The action scenes are really cool and are done well. Another problem I had with this film is that it gets boring at times. Having a lot of action doesn't mean its audience will be entertained. The movie's running time is 117 minutes which is a bit longer then the original. I think they could have cut the film down to about the same length as there some pointless scenes. If you hated the original then you should skip this film as the film is more of the same but it is more entertaining. As long as you don't try to notice too many of the mistakes in the film then you should enjoy it. If your looking for a serious action flick then just skip this.Read full review
The movie Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life is an excellent and fun movie. Whached it a couple of times, and i never get bored. Angelina Jolie plays an excellent role which fits perfectly for her, making the movie super. I really don't haver anything to complain over
The story is a great follow-on for Tomb Raider and great quality for the case and disc.

I love kick butt women movies so this one is awesome.... it is good to see a woman with strong morals (which really show up in this movie) take a stand for humanity. The motorcycle sceens and jumps are awesome. The story line follows the game and for being a movie converted from a game... thumbs up!
I really like this movie. It is not as good as the first, but then, rarely the sequels are. It is action packed, like the first, and Angelina Jolie plays Lara Croft well. She is a hardcore, strong women. Lara Croft can do anything and beat up anyone! I love it! I didn't, however, like how sci-fi esque the movie was during some parts.
