Tomb Raider


Tomb Raider movie hit theaters in June 2001. It quickly became a smashing success, making $131,168,070 at the box office, thereby guaranteeing sequels. As with most big screen adaptations, the movie has to be its own thing. Rarely does Hollywood capture exactly what every passionate fan has visualized in their minds eye. But, overall, the movie was an acceptable portrayal of the property, and Jolie was as beautiful a Lara as was hoped for. What most endeared Jolie to the fans was the fact that she performed many of Lara's stunts herself - incurring all the bumps and bruises that often entails.. This "Lara-like" boldness undoubtedly helped make the role hers, proving that Jolie has the heart of a Tomb Raider.
