Critics' reviews

"As cumbersome as most films in this subgenre, Angelina Jolie makes it watchable"

Jay Carr: Boston Globe
"Has all the appeal of a video game without the joystick. All you can do is watch. It's noisy and moves fast, but if you can't play, why pay?"

Jack Mathews: New York Daily News
"Without [Jolie's] elated arrogance, the movie would be a pallid approximation of a video game, one missing the vital element of interactivity."

Elvis Mitchell: The New York Times
"A by-the-numbers extravanganza that journeys from London to Venice to Siberia to Cambodia without ever really going anywhere"

Steven Rea: Philadelphia Inquirer
"Has the distinction of being a major motion picture that's far less imaginative, and quite a bit more stupid, than the interactive game it's based on"

Todd McCarthy: Variety
"It is the perfect modern product: loud, banal, empty, frenzied, plasticized, flavorless, drab, violent in a bloodless way and sexy in a sexless way"

Stephen Hunter: The Washington Post
"'Lara Croft Tomb Raider' elevates goofiness to an art form. Here is a movie so monumentally silly, yet so wondrous to look at, that only a churl could find fault (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
