Page 1 of `Just watched Tomb Raider: Cradle of Life and......

I thought the first one was cr#p but this one is even worse.
There is only one good bit in the entire film and that`s right at the end and lasts for 2 minutes.
I`m really glad that this bombed in the states because it sends out a message to the makers of trash like this that they must try harder.
It`s simply a series of stunt set pieces strung together by a p#ss weak storyline.
Avoid at all costs.

so if you thought the first one was crap why did you go see the second one, especially as reviews seem to suggest its inferior to the first ?

Cynic
I think Lee was seeking sympathy, but as your name suggests you were probably the wrong person to turn to

I`m with Lee on this one. The whole Lara Croft idea has such potential, and the first film was such utter crap, the second film had to be better. Theoretically. Unfortunately, we`d reckoned without the expertise of Jan De Bont. :(

Jan De Bont - made `Speed`, one of the best action films of the `90s. Then, well, um...

It`s a funny old world. You`d expect a sequel to a cash-in film based on a neverending series of identical video games featuring little more than oversized imaginary mammaries to be well worth a look, wouldn`t you.

i no i am in the manority here. but i liked tomb raider, anyone has to admit that the opening gun fight is very good even if u hated the film! and its always nice to see a member of Red dwarf im a hollywood film! lol havent seen no.2 yet and dont have high hopes after the reviews but i saw a trailer the other day at it didnt look 2 bad! so will probably go and see it as a "let see something else wile we R here"
