Tomb Raider is the number one film in the UK.
The film made 3.8 million on its first weekend in UK cinemas.
Shrek dropped to number two, followed by Evolution and Pearl Harbor.
Bridget Jones's Diary continues to attract UK cinemagoers. It has now taken over 40 million in the UK alone, making it only the sixth film in history to reach that mark.
Titanic, The Full Monty, Star Wars Episode 1:The Phantom Menace, Jurassic Park and Toy Story 2 are the only other films to have passed 40 million in the UK.

Pretty poor considering TR took $48 million in the US on its first weekend!
I know we're a smaller country, but... sheesh!

Thats the only good thing about the US getting stuff first. We knew it was crap so didn't bother to watch it!
There must be quite a few stupid people about though who still saw it....

I saw it in the US and loved it - a definite DVD purchase for me.
So I'll treat that comment with the contempt it deserves, and which you were no doubt expecting! :-)

Of course i was expecting it. :-)
Thing is, is it good? Most reviews have said it's not much cop,possibly why less people saw it over here?
Also, don't forget that there are a considerable number of more people (that doesn't seem to make sense...) in the US, hence more people to got to the cinema -> more money taken by the cinema's.

Cuh, I said that in my orignial post! Must've typed too quick again... ;-p
Critics always seem to slate computer-related films - that's why I ignore them. (I always pay attention to barry Norman though - if he slates a film, you just *know* it's well worth seeing!)
I honestly enjoyed the film - it's genuinely better than all game-related movies that have gone before. It won't be to everyone's taste, but if you have even a passing interest in Lara, you'll enjoy it, I reckon. Jolie's English accent is spot on, the story is typical TR, and the whole thing is very well done.
I'd definitely recommend seeing it at the cinema... if nothing else, at least if you don't like it, you've saved £7 to £12 on buying the video or DVD!

What *do* you mean?

I saw the film and enjoyed it, it wasn't one of the best films ever, but it wasn't the worst either. If you are a fan of the Tomb Raider series then you will enjoy this film, and their are some witty comments to be had. The acting on behalf of the bad guy is fairly poor, and his accent (even if he is English) sounds forced compared to some of the others. It is also a possible DVD purchase for me, but I may be more inclined to buy the R1 disc, just so I can see the film in its full glory, and not the cut version we got.

They didn't really cut much - only a bit with the knife, and a chop to the throat.
Remember though that these bits are often put back in for the video/DVD release.

Stick a review of it in the Movies section, I'm interested to hear why you thought it was good/bad etc
The only reason anyone is seeing Tobraider is beacause of all the Hype and ads for it. I saw it and was extreamly bored. The plot is unorigional. I do admit that the special effects were good but is this what we have come to? Movies that are made up of special effects! I personally thought that the camera shots in the action sequences were much to close and that it was difficult to see what was happening.
I have more dirt on tombraider but can't remember it at the mo.
By the way. If anyone has found a good critic review of tombraider anywhere post some of it up here. I certainly haven't found one.
