Saw this film the other day, not out here for three weeks yet, but let me tell you, you're not missing anything in the three weeks. Do NOT see this film. Ever. Here's why:
Plot: I got pretty fed up with the boring explanation, but it's basically that someone has found Pandora's box, and if it's opened, it will cause the end of the world. So Lara has to stop anyone finding it yadda yadda yadda.
Script: Script is as you would expect from this series, corny and stupid.
Acting: Nothing special, and Jolie's British accent is just stupid. At least her lip doesn't hang out for the entire film this time. Meriocre :|
Cast: The only thing that made this watchable was Chris Barrie as the butler. Still, that's only because I'm a Red Dwarf fan.
Best bit: Croft pole vaulting onto a helicopter. Su-bloody-perb :D
Ending: The ending was alright, actually. Pity that for the most part, the film sucked.
Finally, there was hardly ANY action in this film. About 20 minutes - tops, out of a 110 minute film. It's quite depressing how bad a film can be, yet so many peopel flock to see it :|

angelina jolie + bouncy bouncy + poor plot + bouncy bouncy = good viewing.
the first one was complete gash but I enjoyed one gorgeous bird bound all over the place.
it caused a twitch in my shorts ... i mean, it wasn't all bad.

I've seen a couple of trailers for this now and it looks terrible. I unfortunately) saw the first one, with it's bad action set-pieces, plot, acting/English accents, so I'm not surprised by this one looking like an unpolished tuurd.
And, it is just me, or have they just taken the plots from Raiders... and Temple of Doom, mashed them together with some bad stunts and made that woman from Hackers smuggle peanuts in a wetsuit?
Rubbish.

filing=filming
I thought the first film was okay. Seriously, if you watch it, and this one, just as a film, then they're great. Do you seriously expect a filing master piece to feature a videogame character ?
Cradle of filth more like.
Everything I've read about the new Tomb Raider movie basically says it's a load of old tosh, much like the new game.
I shall not waste my time and money on it that's for certain.

You had to watch it to relise it's crap?
I'm not saying "All brawn but no brains", I'm saying "All brains and no brawn." There's too much dialogue and not enough action :|
Well, I'm looking forward to it. Enjoyed the first, and I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy this one too.
People are saying the same about T3 - according to Teletext, it's "All brawn but no brains". So? Were the other 2 any different?
Not sure why people can't take these films as what they are - a bit of action-based fun. So you don't need a degree in rocket science to follow the plot - big deal!
It all depends what you want from a film, I guess. The occasional brain teasing plot is great, but I usually like to switch off when I'm watching a movie and just have fun.
Really, you should know beforehand that you're not going to get intricate plot twists and Oscar-winning performances from Tomb Raider or Terminator films. If you were expecting more, maybe you're not as smart as you like to make out! (Not aimed at anyone here - just critics in general.)
Enjoy them for what they are - light-hearted action blasts that don't take themselves too seriously.
