Lara Croft

This is a great movie, I received it on time, and I have no complaints. May 20, 2008

Great fun

These are movies to watch if you just want to have an enjoyable evening. Angelina Jolie was born to play Lara Croft. Watching her explore all these beautiful locations and kick butt at the same time is always a lot of fun to watch. I own both movies and they're probably the most played DVDs I have. April 23, 2008

It's all hype

Looking over her body of work confirms to me that I have never actually enjoyed any of Angelina Jolie's movies and some of her movies aren't even real movies but visual showcases. She's watchable and talented but she doesn't seem to get good movie roles. Maybe she looks too lush but many of her roles involve her looking like the archetypal beautiful vampiress. When she dyes her hair white or changes her accent, I tend to lose attention. I like the actress but there's been nothing I like with her in it. Gia showcased her ability to intimidate but perhaps like Elizabeth Taylor, this actress's career and fame exists despite the paucity of her roles even in old favorites with Montgomery Clift.
