I recieved Tomb Raider in the post on Friday.

My wife sent it back this morning.

I did NOT order this film, it was sent to me becasue of an error, but it wasn't sealed, so we watched it anyway!

I wish I hadn't though. It sucked. Really, really badly.

Why did she have to destrot both sides of the triangle? If she only destroyed one it wouldn't work, would it?

Why did she start the film saying her father was missing, but started saying he was dead from half way through, before finding any evidence to the contrary?

How, when she turned the knife in mid-air in frozen time, did she also alter it's momentum? Should the handle of the knife have simply struck the bloke instead?

Why were there so many scenes of Lara standing there firing guns when they were so dull, and she always had to find another way to solve the problem, because the guns never achieved anything?

I had to spend 4 hours getting drunk after watching this, to get over how incredibly poor it was.

I had a hangover all day Saturday because of this crappy movie.

If you really want to see Angelina's Jollies that much, then rent Pushing Tin or Gigi instead.

Dont give more money to hack Simon West and let them think this movie is even approaching acceptable.

Thats a point. Would you rather have a poor film released on a wave of hype or cure a disease like cancer? I'd rather save millions than watch 2 hours of non-sense. They should have donated the money!

Ok, I told you people to not bother with this when it came out at the cinema.
And I finally steeled myself to watch it on Friday night (my gf rented it and what-the-hell)

It sucked.
Angelina Jolie spent the entire movie trying too hard to look "cool".
Rubbish "training" sequence at the beginning and she didn't know about the secret room with the clock in?
Chris Barrie proving yet again he shouldn't be allowed out of Red Dwarf.
Badly edited Bungee-fight scene so you could hardly see what was going on (same with all the action scenes), shoddy characterisations.

Yeah Meka was right, just destroy one half and it's ruined.

Stupid, moronic tosh that cost $60 million to fund, whilst Cancer Research is charitable donation funded only.
Go figure and then be ashamed that you watched this floating, stink-loaf of a movie - I am. (and I only watched it because the missus got it and I was in the room, I walked out after 40 mins and read "With Nails" instead)
Flush it all away and light a match.
