Weak movie

Rating: 2/10 (11 December 2010)

Gone is the Angelina Jolie of Lara Croft Tomb Rider. Either the director had no ability to draw the strength that Jolie is capable of, or Jolie herself has just lost it. Put aside the bizarre and phony hairdos, we see Jolie running in the face of danger with arms flailing like a rag-doll, and posture of a way-too-tall teen whose mother is imploring to stand up straight! Where is the Croft-like strength? None of this is compelling--not the acting, not the editing, not the plot. This movie is a total failure, but--to be fair to Angelina Jolie (who has proved herself to be a great actor)--it appears the director's vision is simply uninspiring. Note to Jolie: choose your roles better.
