Supreme Cmdr Report post Posted July 26, 2003 OK, I'm a BIG Angelina Jolie fan. I mean BEEG fan. Nevertheless, given the first film (which, to me, was so-so), I went to see this one without ANY expectations. Boy was I surprised!!! It was well done, very well acted and NOTHING done over-the-top (except for the shark part - but, since its Lara, we gotta have sharks ). I was totally surprised by this movie. Highly entertaining and not a SINGLE dull moment in the 2hr showing. 9/10 (It loses a point because I don't like the final part of the ending. You'll know when you see it) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Trotter Report post Posted July 28, 2003 Ditto SC I agree totally. See what having a good action director like Jan De Bont can do for a film? Imagine how much ass it would have sucked if McG directed it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Imagine how much ass it would have sucked if McG directed it? Too bad it didn't help it at the box office. According to something I read on MSN, the movie opened at $21m which is not even half of what the original opened at. And there is speculation that the late release of the latest game and the buggy nature (hence lower sales), helped tank the movie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure thats true but the only thing that is holding the franchise together at this point is Angelina Jolie. At least I hope thats true. Cuz everything else left of the franchise sucks.

Urza Report post Posted July 29, 2003 Some of our late night Tomb Raider shows in the big 485 auditoriums on Saturday were swapped with Bad Boys. Even in the smaller 205 auditorium, it was barely half-full. Bad Boys sold out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
d8alus Report post Posted July 29, 2003 I haven't seen it yet, but I want to...from the previews alone, it looks like they did a much better job and took the movie a little more seriously than the first one. James Bond meets Indiana Jones with a heroine instead of a hero....sounds like a winning combo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Emmett.hendrick Report post Posted August 1, 2003 Have to admit Angelina is a very beautiful woman but I don't think she pulls off Lara quite right. Although I am basing my opinion on the half baked original. I may change that opinion after seeing number: 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
