Short version of review: Best James Bond movie ever.
So I like movies and TV with kickass babes. It's not like you hadn't guessed, what with the Buffy and Xena fanfic and all the screencaps. I liked Charlie's Angels II: Full Throttle, to a large extent because it had lots of babes and they kicked a reasonable amount of ass. The Cradle of Life only had one babe, but hot damn what a babe, and she kicked truly serious amounts of ass. Even when standing still. I've rarely seen casting as great as Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft. The woman can out-macho a gang of soldiers in full combat gear while standing around in jeans and t-shirt. Add a couple of guns, some awesome acrobatic moves, seriously skin-tight clothes and, well, *drool*. For the next Tomb Raider movie, they can keep everything the same, except I want Lara's tough-as-nails love interest to be played by Renée O'Connor.
Oh, and the plot wasn't nearly as braindead as in the first movie. It almost made sense.
