Valutazione di Mbira314
This is the perfect movie for a hot summer day when it's over 90 degrees outside and you just need to sit in an air-conditioned theater and turn yer brains off for a few hours. A word of advice: don't go in to see a movie based on a video game and expect to see Shakespeare.
The comparisons to Indiana Jones are a bit off; Spielberg, Lucas, and company were starting with a blank slate. If Indy had been a character in a video game first, they'd have looked ridiculous trying to flesh him out into a real person. I think the makers of this fine product made a wise decision in leaving Lara Croft one-dimensional (excepting her lips and chestal area).
Angelina Jolie works wonders with the limited material here, and brings more energy to the action scenes than any woman this side of Hong Kong. Jon Voight lends some dignity to the proceedings, and unlike some viewers here, I found both his and Jolie's Brit accents acceptable. Chris Barrie (the hologram-guy from TV's "Red Dwarf") has some fun moments as Lara's prissy butler, and the rest of the cast does a good job of looking like they're straight out of a video game.
The special effects are decent, especially the six-armed sword monster (too bad its appearance is rather short). The scenery in Cambodia and Iceland is stunning and probably belongs in a better movie than this one. The action sequences are nothing we haven't seen before, and if you get antsy, you can pass the time figuring out where they borrowed each shot from. I spotted lifts from John Woo, Quentin Tarantino, Jackie Chan, and even a few bits of good old Indy.
The Illuminati appear somewhere in the nonsense, and I'm wondering where the writers came up with the material on them. No matter where they show up, they're always depicted as old European aristocrats and they always use the scary-pyramid-with-the-eye from the back of the dollar bill as their symbol. Just once I'd like to see the super-secret evil society that rules the world portrayed as a bunch of blue-collar guys from Nebraska. Please?
Anyway, get out of the heat for a few hours, lower your cinematic expectations, turn your brain off, and enjoy. Shakespeare will still be there when you get out.
