    Lara Croft finds a novelty bowling ball that can reveal the location of Pandora's Box if you play it a tune, and so sets off to get it before an evil scientist can get his hands on it and unleash a plague on mankind. This preposterous plot is a virtual carbon copy of the plot to ...( read more)The Mummy Returns although quite why anyone would want to copy that is beyond me. It kind of reminded me of one of those globetrotting action movies Jackie Chan used to make, but whereas Chan would've injected a lot of humour into the proceedings, this film just joylessly lumbers from one unexciting and formulaic set piece to the next. Angelina gamely strips to her skinnies and runs around shooting the extras, the entire film fuelled solely by her sex appeal but the direction is sloppy and lazy and it's very difficult to care about any of it. It's virtually devoid of any imagination or invention and is one of the most soulless, mechanical exercises in making a fast buck I've seen yet.

    Not as good as the first one and the special effects were really bad at times...but Angelina Jolie is HOTT!

    Oh, all the crap I'll subject myself to just for Gerry.

    Two main problems with this film:

    1) There was absolutely no tension whatsoever between Lara and Terry.

    2) There were so many utterly pointless scenes that had they been cut out, the film would've easily been the much nee...( read more)ded ˝h shorter. (The shark bit, for instance - good grief!)

    As much fun as it is to watch Angelina run around in spandex, I still never agreed that she was the right choice to portray Lara Croft. Most of the problem I had was the dialogue and story, which were abhorrently lame. Maybe Jennifer Connelly or they could have waited a few years...( read more) and put Megan Fox in the role, which is good for her because she can't act anyway. I was surprised Angelina's English accent was so terrible. Who does she think she is? Renee Zellwegger?

    More pointless action, and an even worse script.
