I don't play videogames, so I'm probably not as familiar with Croft as many others. That said, in my opinion, this movie clearly would've had potential. Big busted heroine taking what she wants with two guns blazing. Sounds hot, ay? The finished product is far from that.
Biggest problem with Lara Croft: Tomb Raider is the editing. It's just simply appalling. Nobody goes to see this s**t for Lara's relationship with her dad. They pay the price for the action. Sadly, it doesn't work. Every time you think "this is it, now she's gonna come from there, fling by the camera and boom! Awesome!" they cut to some stupid angle that totally ruins the momentum. Such a shame.
There are three good things here, though. The training fight with the robot is some what cool in the beginning of the picture. Plus the songs "Where's your head at?" by Basement Jaxx and "Elevation" by U2. And that's about it.
