![]() I really enjoyed playing the Tomb Raider games on the play-station. It was blasphemous all the way through! It spoke of the illuminatti, it spoke of becoming God, it spoke of being able to sit at the right hand of God, which we all know who that position belongs to, the only One Jesus Christ. My husband and I saw this movie together and we liked the action and music of the film, but the plot and religious issues were horrible. As far as popcorn movies go, this is not that enjoyable. A flashback to the death of Lara’s father is startling. Profanity is low, but violence is high, although little gore is shown. There are mild sex references, and scenes where Lara Croft is partially naked or scantily clad. Jolie is a good actress, but this film adds nothing to her resume. The film is being marketed on the appeal of Angelina Jolie, in order to bring her many male fans in. It’s as if there was a hope that the audience would have short attention spans, and not notice the plot holes. The film’s director used to direct commercials and music videos, and it shows. Even those who regularly play the video game this film is based on, will probably be disappointed… the whole plot is confusing, and does little to make Croft’s quest to save the world feel urgent. Unfortunately, the movie wants to be “Raiders of Lost Ark”, but generates none of the excitement or heart. In a homage to the “Pink Panther” movies, where Inspector Clouseau had his manservant jump out at him to practice self-defense, Lara Croft does battle with a robot in the opening scenes. I do know that this father of a 10 and 15-year-old son is not planning to take them to see a possible “Soul-Raider.” It is obvious that the studios wanted her R-rated appearance to follow the PG-13 one. The R-rated movie “Original Sin”, also starring Jolie in a “lust-filled” drama, was moved from a February release date to August. It also highly emphasizes the Buddha faith as a powerful religious force. The film also contains a strong scene that makes fun of God. I do not think it is an appropriate film for young teenage boys. This is one film that viewers will either love or hate.Ĭan I recommend it? I am afraid you will have to make that choice. There is heart warming connection between a daughter and the father she longs to see again. Is there anything positive? There is very little language and only implied sex. All of this is blended together with a very “cold” form of violence. There is plenty of high-wire stunts and cliff-hanging action. Each one is larger and looks like the usual “bosses” that kids try to beat in video games. There is one scene where Croft fights these characters and new ones continue to appear. ![]() In fact, viewing the film is like watching someone play a video game (that may be the point). The film does have excellent special effects, but there is no suspense. It is Lara Croft’s mission (should she decide to accept it or not) to stop a villain named Manfred Powell (Iain Glen) from doing this and save all of mankind. The journey takes it’s searchers from the caves in Angkor Wat to the frozen Arctic Circle. The triangle is in two pieces and placed far apart. If you have the “All-seeing” eye and a special triangle you can be “god” and control time. Once every 5000 years, all the planets are aligned. The conspiracy tales of the Illuminati are revived in this very predictable script. She is the daughter of the late tomb raider Sir Richard Croft (Jon Voit). Yes, the film does contain partial nudity of Angelina and also of a man later in the story. Director Simon West has bragged about the “padded” enhancements for the actress and his private copy of Angelina showering nude. The character of Lara Croft ( Angelina Jolie) does not leave much for the imagination. Young boys can discover everything from gaming codes to the sinful world of adult porn. Lara Croft’s image and game has generated over 1000 Web sites. The concerns of 12-year-old boys taking on the role of a women and acting out violence seem to be ignored by many parents. ![]() The game comprises of a young woman wearing tight clothes, able to handle an M-16, and the cunning of Indiana Jones. I am not sure that all the interest has been “healthy”. It has been a very popular RPG video game. “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider” has created a lot of interest over the past few years.
