two years ago, 2001, the tomb raider movie really got me excited. so when they showed it in local theaters, i just have to watch it during the first weekend. good to say, it actually lived up to my expectations. and i think i’m one of those few who actually loved the movie. my friends told me that that movie sucked for them big time. no plot what-so-ever. i’m not a big sucker for plot-centric movies and i think that’s one of the reasons that i enjoy most of the movies that i watched. give me a good action movie, i’ll definitely love it. and i think that’s one of the reasons why i loved the first tomb raider. two years later, 2003, around april or may, while watching trailers, i first encountered cradle of life. from the trailer itself, it gave me the feeling that what i’m watching isn’t lara croft anymore. yeah, it’s still angelina jolie. but it seems that she lacks something. so i prepared myself not to like the movie, but still, just last thursday, i said to myself: “what the heck. it’s a tomb raider movie. why not give it a chance?” and so we rushed to the theater… and what a disappointment it was. even though i know i wouldn’t like the movie, the movie i watched wasn’t at all a tomb raider movie. what i was watching wasn’t lara croft. it was just plain angelina jolie. it’s not that i don’t like her, but i was expecting her to epitomize lara croft since it’s a tomb raider movie, right? i personally felt that it lacked action, lacked the lara croft moves, lacked the lara croft lips XD, and lacked the lara croft boobs. yeah… where’s that trademark lara croft boobs?! XD anyway, so what kept me watching was just to see noah taylor and chris barrie. (if you don’t know they’re the computer-expert and the butler of lara respectively) but no… their roles were so small that it’s a miracle they’re still part of the credits. anyway, i still love them at the ending XD damn cute together. and noah taylor’s cute with long dredlocks. anyway, if your an angelina jolie fan, i think you’ll love this one coz she’s just everywhere. but yeah… don’t expect much. at least, i agree with them in saying that it kinda sucked. now i hope the next movie i watch won’t disappoint me. that’s either pirates (which i dunno when they’ll be showing locally), lgx (again, i dunno when), or bulletproof monk (which they’re showing this wednesday). *prays that these movies will be good*
