La aventurera Lara Croft emprende una búsqueda para salvar la mítica Caja de Pandora ante un científico malvado y recluta a un ex marine convertido en mercenario para que la ayude.
Despite facing several criticisms and being considered a film far short of what it could deliver, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider was successful at the box office, which soon ensured a sequel, bringing Angelina Jolie once again in the role of archaeologist Lara Croft. After the enthusiastic statements by Jolie, who said that she would only return to the series if the script this time was really good, it seemed that Tomb Raider would finally be able to establish itself as a level cinematic adventure.
I'm torn about this film. On the other hand, I cannot quite pinpoint the differences between this and the original Lara Croft film, and yet it feels inferior in every aspect.
This sequel leans into the cheese a little more and is honestly better for it. Angelina Jolie isn't winning any awards for her performance, but she seems to be having more fun in the role.
