Hey, who knew sharks were groaning like lions ?! Awesome! :pAlso when they do it underwater, it totally sounds exactly like in the air. Take that, physics! :p

Computer game sequel... yet it's enjoyable action nonsense & better than the first. 5/10.Follow me on Twitter @LastFilmSeen

Better than the first as trading made up artifacts for actual mythology gives you a lot more depth to work with. Butler brings a surprising amount of interest to the project and the back and forth between him and Jolie is a welcome addition. The action is better and the stuntwork is not too shabby overall. The overall feel of the film is the classic bad guy with a supervillain-y plot which places it in more familiar territory.Siskoid
Lara Croft 2 - Raid Harder - is a better movie that the first by virtue of letting some of the video game elements - the puzzle-like rooms and polygonal Lady Croft - in favor of a more Bondian feel - globe-trotting adventure, big stunts, MI-6 even gives her the mission. The baby didn't exactly get thrown out with the bathwater - the magical relics are still epic, Lara still sexy without forcing the issue - but the action isn't quite as interesting. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. I appreciate The Cradle of Life's limited use of CG creatures and more grounded experience (but damn, why did de Bont feel the need to use obnoxious slow-mo like Miller did?), it's just that when you cut fights on every move, you sap a lot of the style and effect from it. Gerard Butler is a better version of Daniel Craig's selfish merc character, but the relationship is more complex and therefore more rewarding. The better of Jolie's Tomb Raider movies, but I still prefer Alicia Vikander's.IreneAdler
Really enjoyable. Lots of fun, great landscapes and effects, lovely actors. Angelina Jolie is pretty much the perfect Lara Croft, Gerry Butler had a lovely role, CiarĂ¡n Hinds was a great villain... and all the others fit very well, too. Rewatched it lots of times and I still like it.
