As long as you don't try to notice too many of the mistakes in the film then you should enjoy it. If you hated the original then you should skip this film as the film is more of the same but it is more entertaining. I think they could have cut the film down to about the same length as there some pointless scenes. The movie's running time is 117 minutes which is a bit longer then the original. Having a lot of action doesn't mean its audience will be entertained.
Another problem I had with this film is that it gets boring at times.
The action scenes are really cool and are done well. Tomb Raider II is an action-adventure platform game developed by Core Design and published by Eidos Interactive.It was released in 1997 for Microsoft Windows and PlayStation as part of the Tomb Raider series and the sequel to the 1996 video game Tomb Raider. Gerard Butler does a good job as well though sometimes his performance wasn't very interesting. Angelina Jolie does a good job of playing Lara Croft and she is also very breathtaking in the film. The acting is good not great but nothing horrible either. He did a bit better then Simon West but still the studio should have hired someone else. Core Design created the first trilogy between 19.
He is a terrible director and can't build up suspense very well. There have been 12 Tomb Raider Games, plus two RPG spinoffs.Since its debut, the series has sold over 82 million copies. I think the person that should be blamed is Jan de Bont. However, the story is weak and the film doesn't quite make sense at times either. The action scenes are really cool and are done well. People that want a good story and better direction should skip this film. People just wanting those two things will probably enjoy this film. The plot sounds okay but the main reason someone would see this film is for the action scenes and Angelina Jolie. Chen Lo is in league with a bad guy named Reiss, who wants to use the priceless Box as a doomsday weapon. During her expedition, Croft happens upon a sphere that contains the mythical Pandora's Box, only to have it stolen from her by Chen Lo, the leader of a Chinese crime syndicate. Archaeologist and explorer extraordinaire, Lara Croft, journeys to a temple which has sunken underwater in search of lost treasures. Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life is an improvement over the original as it delivers more action and adventure.
