Lara Croft: Tomb Raider

One and a half stars. More than just disappointing: actively bad.

This would have been almost enjoyable tosh, if it hadn't been for the incompetent ending. I'm quite willing to watch an hour and a half of plot-, tension-, and character-free eye candy, but for goodness' sake, if you're going to set the climax in a massive underground orrery where time itself is fragmenting into glowing bubbles of cool special effects, at least have the decency to kill the bad guy in a blaze of high-budget CGI-rendered glory. You can't just kick him in the nuts and leave him for dead as an earthquake shakes the place apart. That's just not right.
