Story: Popular video game character Lara Croft returns in this sequel to Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. Intrepid British archaeologist Lara Croft
(Angelina Jolie) has made perhaps the most important discovery in history: an orb that leads to Pandoras Box.

Unfortunately, the orb falls into the hands of Jonathan Reiss (Ciarn Hinds), an evil scientist who hopes to sell the secrets of the box as the ultimate weapon.

Recruited by British Intelligence to get the orb back from Reiss, Lara recruits Terry Sheridan (Gerard Butler), a British marine turned mercenary and her former love interest to help. The two embark on an adventure that spans continents in an attempt to regain the orb.

The movie is good and I liked Angelina Jolies performance. The special effects are good, the action sequences are impressive and Angelina Jolie is hot. I was very impressed with the computer graphics.

I have played Tomb Raider on the computer. And the best part of the film is that Angelina Jolie plays Lara Croft. Though in Tomb Raider I, Angelina is dressed like Lara Croft, she is completely different in the sequel. Even her hairstyle is different from what it is in the game. The movie stresses on Angelina Jolie but lacks a storyline.

The film is too long and boring. It lacks a good storyline and the
performances are mediocre. The story is rather limited find the key, key gets stolen, get key back, unlock secret with key, kill bad guy. However, I went to see the movie only because Angelina Jolie is hot!

One should watch this movie only for Angelina Jolie. But the movie is so bad that you wish you had watched her photographs on the Internet instead. The visual effects and stunts look original but the story becomes slow and unrealistic. Angelina Jolie has given a brilliant
performance and she has improved on her British accent. Its fun to watch her do the action sequences.
