She is having such a good time in this role that you can't help but enjoy her in it. She has a presence of toughness and vulnerability and also a knowing smirk that shows she knows how ridiculous this cartoon of movie could be. But the bad girl of Hollywood has enough attitude and sultry moves to fill this movie to the brim. And luckily for this movie, the talented and beautiful Jolie, kicks ass in this role. The whole point of this movie is to showcase Angelina Jolie as the stylish adventuress Lara Croft, as she out cools, outfights, and outsmarts the bad guys. Now put the plot out of your head because it is only an excuse to show Lara in action. The triangle is in two pieces, in two separate ancient cities, and it is a race to see who will find the pieces first, Lara or the Illuminati. The plot, and it is so unimportant, is a group called the Illuminati who are seeking a mystic triangle that can control time.

Once again, Lara Croft the character saves the medium in which she is delivered. Tomb Raider the movie is smart enough to know that it is her character that made the games so popular and is wisely filled with the same thing. The representation of millions of adolescent video game playing young men's fantasies. Sexy, smart, with a sophisticated British accent, she wiggles and jiggles in ultra-cool style throughout her numerous adventures. That hook is the character of Lara Croft.

What the series of games do have is a hook, one hell of a hook. What they are, has been done hundreds of times before, and in better games with better graphics. Thousands of players might disagree with me, but honestly, despite what you might have heard, Tomb Raider the games really aren't that good. I think I am there for in a good position to judge Tomb Raider the video game series. I have played literally thousands of video/computer games in my lifetime. Angelina Jolie in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider.
