Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001)

Cast: Angelina Jolie (Lara Croft), Jon Voight (Lord Richard Croft), Iain Glen (Manfred Powell), Noah Taylor (Bryce), Daniel Craig (Alex West)
For complete cast info, see IMDb's Lara Croft: Tomb Raider page.

I'm not that big into video games or Playstation. But, my favorite video game of all time (on computer, I didn't have access to a Playstation at the time) has been Tomb Raider. I love the game! So, naturally, I was happy about the movie coming out. And unlike many others, I thought Angelina Jolie was a great person to play Lara Croft.

I didn't expect too much of the movie and perhaps that's why I was pleasantly surprised. I loved how much of the game they showed in the movie - that the training room (the lobby of her huge mansion) was actually used in the film. I think if you haven't played Tomb Raider many of the scenes would seem like a waste, but I was very happy with what they did with the movie. If they have a sequel, I'd go see it in theatres and that's saying a lot, since sequels tend not to be as good as the original.

Grade: B
