I truly did not expect much

Rating: 10/10 (28 June 2008)

I really was not impressed with the trailer for this film. I went for 3 reasons. I think Angie Jolie is the most beautiful woman in the world. I kind of liked the director's style in "Nightwatch" (didn't see the other 2 in the trilogy), and the kicker was the solid reviews that made it sound a lot better than the trailer looked. I am glad the reviews pulled me in because Angie could not have done it alone. I never paid for Tomb Raider because every single movie ever made from a video game pretty much sucks in my opinion. This is a film you really must savor on the big screen. The action almost never lets up and when it does there is a solid fun story going on. Is the premise ridiculous? Absolutely. Who cares? I just hope they make a sequel, because I am under the impression it is adapted from a graphic novel that I would expect may be a series. I would make another comment about that, but I want to avoid any spoilers. Go see this film now, you will not regret it.
