Editorial Review: Description: In LARA CROFT TOMB RAIDER –THE CRADLE OF LIFE, Pandora’s Box is said to house the most unspeakable evil ever known, and it is hidden in Africa in an area known as "The Cradle Of Life." Now, it is up to Lara Croft to find the infamous box before it falls into the hands of a maniacal Nobel Prize-winning scientist (Hinds), who’s intent on harnessing the evil power. Facing her greatest challenges yet, the intrepid tomb raider travels the world on a spectacular adventure that takes her to such exotic places as Hong Kong, Kenya, Tanzania, Greece and the Great Wall of China. Amazon.com: Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, The Cradle of Life is certainly better than its 2001 predecessor, but its appeal is mostly aimed at fans of the video games that inspired both movies. That pretty much leaves you with some fun but familiar action sequences, and the ever-alluring sight of Angelina Jolie (reprising her title role) as she swims, swings, kicks, shoots, flies, jet-skis, motorcycles, and free-falls her way toward saving the world, this time by making sure that a grimacing villain (Ciarán Hinds) doesn't open Pandora's Box (yes, the actual mythological object) and unleash a deadly plague that will "weed out" the global population. Exotic locations add to Jolie's own coolly erotic appeal, but we're left wondering if this franchise has anywhere else to go. --Jeff Shannon Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - Great Movies Are Hard to FindI'm a fan of most Angelina Jolie films, but her series of Lara Croft Tomb Raider films are great. There is so much action & adventure that these films don't leave you bored. The actors that work with her are a good group and transform into a great cast of characters. We have made these movies among our top picks to take on vacations/trips with our portable DVD player. Rating: - Suspense and romance - just Gerry.What can I say...where would Lara Croft be without Gerry Butler around the corner? He is believable in most any role and is such eye candy...it should have been easy for Lara to have lost interest in Pandora's Box with Gerry back in her life.... Rating: - "Your're A Hard Act To Follow Croft" ~ Rocking The Cradle As Only Lara CanThe further adventures of the fabulously sexy and deadly Lara Croft continue in the '03 sequel `Lara Croft Tomb Raider - The Cradle of Life'. This film is definitely a worthy addition to the Croft mythos sending Lara in search of not so mythical Pandora's Box. Not alone in her quest, she find herself in competition with a ruthless foe determined to possess the box and release a plague upon mankind for which he possesses the only antidote. As with the film the production values are first ... Read More Rating: - an action movie with a womanI like movies that have some action in them. But what I really like in this movie is that it is a women that is strong willed and can get it done. Most movies have the man as the risk taker but the stunts and effects in this movie make it fun to watch. Rating: - Average at bestThe best thing about this film is Angelina Jolie, who as we know now can be a fine actress (see A Mighty Heart) as well as looking stunning. However in general this is just an overblown blockbuster with a plot thats similar to that used in the Indiana Jones films. After an admittedly promising beginning this rapidly descends into stunt after stunt followed by explosion after explosion then gun battle after gun battle and unarmed combat fight ad-nauseum. Credit where credit is due the stunts are well ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
