Tomb Raider / Tomb Raider 2: The Cradle Of Life Box Set

Lets get the good news over first. Angelina Jolie is perfectly cast as Lara Croft, I can't think of anybody who could play the part better, with a perfect English accent.
But it's the film's that let what coud have been a good contender for the next Indiana Jones down.
Whilst both films are entertaining enough, with some very good action sequences.They don't manage to grab the imagination as they should. Both films in my opinion are as good as each other, they are well directed and rattle along at great speed, and that's where the problems are. The films move at such a great pace that none of the characters engage, Even the Tomb Raider games have better written characters than the ones in the movies.So your left not giving a damn about them. If the film's intension was to capture the feel of the games, well they have suceeded. As the action seems to be like playing a game, and going to the next level with every action sequence,every time with bigger and harder obsticals to overcome.
An entertaining box-set, but misses the special spark to make the movies excellent, as they should have been.
Pretty good family escapism!

Well for £4.99 you really can't go wrong, the first Tomb Raider is easily the best video game movie adaption ever made and stars Angelina Jolie who put in a great performance and easily becomes the one and only Lara Croft.
Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life the follow up, which didn't perform as well the the first movie, but is still a must see for fans of the game, or any fans of action movies.

So really for the price you can't go wrong, so snap up the great offer now.

Seen both films and I have to say I perfer Tomb Raider 1 more. Even though I have both films on DVD I still watch the re-runs that come on TV. An idication of how much I enjoy watching the film I guess ??? Lol.

The first Tomb Raider movie is a decent three-star movie. Nothing remarkable, but perfectly enjoyable. The second, however, is a disgrace. It's one of the worst films I've ever watched. Simon Yam really needs to pick his projects a little better at times.

Three stars for TR1, one star for TR2, so two stars overall.

great family entertainment but also good for thoughs lads nights in- a rare mixture!! on par with the indiana movies but more modern, future classics with more to come i hope! all this combined with a superb price and service from play- come on guys what you waiting for
