Tomb Raider Tomb Raider. Runtime: Just under 2 hours.
Excellent graphics all around in this one. I seem to either have missed, in the trailer or the theater, some scenes I was expecting to see. I know there were some that I thought I saw but they could have been taken from other parts and not where I was expecting to see them.

The Cambodian temple and Antarctic dead zone were all wonderfully done. The inanimate statues coming to life were beautifully done, and has the perfect mix of fragility and mean looks. Jolie looked stunning and her accent was very well done. I, though, think there were a couple of scenes that could have been left out. For instance one scene, just after she leaves the bath and drops her towel, could have been left out, and made the movie much classier. 90% of the men ion the audience were drooling, but 95% of the women were fuming, thus alienating the females. I give it three days or less till that scene is on every site and P2P network around. All in all, an excellent film, with great graphics and nice action. Jolie and her father Jon Voight were excellent and the other main characters were nicely added parts, performed well. I also think the butler decked out in a bullet proof vest and still in pajamas could be left out in the sequel. I give this a 9/10 rating and cannot wait for the sequels. Great adaptation for the queen of computer gaming.
