movie review - Lara Croft: Tomb Raider

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Vancouver, 2001.09.16

I'm well pleased that we saw this at the discount cinema for $4.50 a head, cos it wasn't worth a dime more. It has an immensely predictable plot, it's riddled with unexplained behaviour from characters that ensure a predictable plot, and it's a touch boring in some critical areas. I doubt this one had less than two dozen people contributing to the 'writing'.

Not recommended.

A lot of people lose the spirit of childhood. Every child has a lot of imagination and you lose it little by little. I don't know why, but I kept it.
