LARA CROFT TOMB RAIDER: THE CRADLE OF LIFE (Theatrical Release USA 2003)
Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.8|5.0 Starsììì
Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of
Life—the second installment
of Lara Croft Tomb Raider accomplishes
what many sequels do not succeed in doing—exceed the performance of the
original movie. Wow! What a movie! If you wanted an action-packed movie with a
great storyline, you get exactly that.
Director Jan De Bont orchestrates this film without missing a beat in timing or
tone. Kudos for Angelina Jolie performing superbly again as Lara. An enjoyable addition to this film
is Gerard Butler as character Terry Sheridan—a GREAT casting combination choice
for balancing Angelina Jolie's strong character. Lara’s computer guy/electrician/engineer Bryce is
still played by Noah Taylor while Til Schweiger outdoes himself as the
character Sean.
