This movie is atrocious in ways that make atrocious look good.  The only thing that is worthwhile in this film is side boob from Angie, and even then...you could always just go watch Taking Lives, Gia, or Original Sin!


And anyone saying this is the best video game to movie adaptation...WOW!  WAKE UP, FOLKS!!!

the CGI actually wasn't that bad for it's time, i remember seeing this in the theater and thinking it looked sweet.  to this day i think Tomb Raider is one of the best adapted video game movies, that and Hitman

Even though it was well made,  and Jolie is the perfect cast for Lara, this movie just didn't do it for me. Then again, neither do the games and they are also mostly well made, expect AOD, or so I heard.

Fun.  I'd like to see more/some of the "Source Materiel."  Like a in-game shot of Laura doing a swan dive.  Just a thought.

Good Episode.  Will Ryan be doing anything special for the new upcoming game movies?  Like the WoW, Bioshock or Metal Gear flicks?  I mean, will he wait for them to hit DVD or what?

Is there any kind of format for these or is it just off the top of your head?  For fun.  Wondering because a format would help make them longer.  Ryan is good in front of a camera, the theme is interesting and this show can only go up.  I would love to watch more.

Need a guest co-host.  Where you at Jeff

that attitude that acts like your so cool with your sunglasses on (inside a building for some reason), wearing your really gay jacket but you think its cool so its okay (when its hot) , speeding down a highway with your motorcycle for no reason, walking like your better and cooler than everyone else is so ANNOYING!!!!!! all she needs is to go to a coffee shop with a laptop because it is just so necessary to bring your laptop even though you could completely do without it .God, I see one of those retards everytime i go to get coffee. I loathe it with a passion.

Haha, when this movie came out, a friend of my parents (a woman), was claiming how this movie was so revolutionary and was the "female Indiana Jones."  What a joke, this movie wasn't horrible, but it was nowhere near the quality of Indiana Jones.

Had a friend who kept trying to get me to watch this movie when it came out on VHS. I got 10 minutes in and had to turn it off because it was so boring.

The movie looks pretty awful. They so should have used Weapon of Choice for the scene at 01:12 though.

This was actually a fun movie, and I went to go see it in 1999, mainly because of Angelina Jolie.  I forgot that Daniel Craig was in the film.  Makes me want to see it again.

When Lara grabs the triangle, I couldn't help but thinking of the Zelda "DA NAH NAH NAAAAAAAH!" that plays when Link gets an important item.

Had to re-watch this video because of the new Tomb Raider game. I think I just noticed the inspiration for the ending of Uncharted 3. Huh... I want more TANG.

Whoa, a time traveler! Must've used that illumanati triangle thing to see the movie two years before it was made.

(Yes, I am razzing someone for their five year old goof.)

The second one is tolerable, the first one is not.
