Tomb Raider follows Lara Croft and she goes on a journey or adventure to obtain this artefact which gives the possessor the ability to control time. The film establishes that the planets are coming into alignment an event which occurs only every 5000 years. The Illuminati seek to obtain a treasure which will give the person power to control time, however, this artefact must be recovered before the planets align. Lara Croft sets out to gain this relic for herself to stop it falling into the hands of someone dangerous who could use it to potentially destroy the world. So I’ve got to say I have a major dislike for these films and watching this one over reaffirmed my beliefs that Tomb Raider is both a terrible action film and a terrible adaptation. For starters Angelina Jolie, I can’t stand her as Lara Croft. Often I think she’s a terrible actress too often looking like a prissy stuck up cow, like get the rod out your ass love! anyway her acting ability is almost always mediocre and I don’t think she’s a good actress in this film. I don’t think she’s the right person to depict Lara Croft. She doesn’t even seem anything like Lara Croft, I just can’t believe in her as a character. Secondly the story, it’s just boring. It’s like they tried too hard with all the action, it’s just constructed in such a way it seem overtly artificial. And with like a shower scene within the first 5 minutes sure I expected there would be one but it’s timing seems so odd. It just makes all men or gamers seem really perverted. I’m fine with shower scenes just make it a bit more relevant or time fitting. I really dislike this film, I can’t seem to find anything good about it. I can’t even take Daniel Craig seriously in this film, I love him as James Bond but seriously why was his acting so insanely terrible in this. It really makes no sense to me. Just don’t watch this film seriously, it should be avoided.
