CHICAGO SUN-TIMES: Roger Ebert
So monumentally silly, yet so wondrous to look at, that only a churl could find fault.Read Full Review »

Slate: David Edelstein
She's (Jolie) the most amazing special effect in movies. The best thing in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider is a bungee-jumping ballet that Lara performs late at night in her mansion, soaring high and low in Japanese silk pajamas and with her hair pulled tightly back.Read Full Review »

The New York Times: A.O. Scott
Sitting through the lavish and dumb action spectacular Lara Croft: Tomb Raider is about as much fun as watching someone else play a video game.Read Full Review »
