Say what you want, but I loved Lara Croft. And no, I’m not one of those people who are amazed only by Angelina Jolie’s beauty. I think that Lara was spectacular for me because she was a female protagonist who intimidated all the men around her, yet deep inside she was a lady with a very sensitive heart. And I absolutely loved it about her character. But if you’ve never seen the adventures of Lara Croft, let me invite you to her world. Lara is… hard to say who she is. She’s a fighter, an adventurer, an archeologist, an explorer and a very talented woman. She’s living with a technical assistant Bryce (Noah Taylor) and butler Hilary (Chris Barrie). Her father was lost during one of his missions and Lara decided to continue his work. One day, the woman finds a mysterious clock. Seems like this clock is actually a very important element that may lead her to finding the Triangle of Light, which according to legends allows to control time. Unfortunately, Lara is not the only person who knows about this clock so she has to keep it safe and act fast in order to find the Triangle first. I’ve seen this film several times and I’m never bored. What I find the most enjoyable is the ending. I think that it’s a nice cherry on top and after the whole film I feel satisfied. And in fact, I love Angelina in this role. There were many actresses hoping to get the role of Lara, but despite lots of criticism about choosing Angelina, Simon West, the director, said: “Lara sleeps with knives and doesn’t take shit from anybody. That’s Angelina down to a tee.” Amen to that!
My rating: 7/10
