RANT

while i didn't expect to really have a life altering experience watching tomb raider, i did expect the visual effects to be at least on par with every other single movie released the past couple of years.

it's no mystery that the main attractions for this film were the enhanced breasts of angelina jolie. (the lopsided, enhanced breasts) and while the most expensive scene to shoot in the whole movie had to have been the grand finale where an entire room is exploding and falling down around the brave heroine as she sprints in slow motion to safety, she might as well have been sprinting in slow motion through a papier maché set. it was the quintessential "money shot." breasts, fake or not, jumbling in slow motion for a good thirty seconds of film.

yes...i thought it was pretty nice.

the real let down, however, is one i will try to describe without giving away too much for those of you not persuaded by my blog to miss seeing this movie. they have these "stunt" knives that they use in movies/plays/low-budget-student-films with a blade that slides up into the knife handle to give the appearance of the blade going in or, in this case, coming out of a victims body. some(one) missed the fact that said blade had blood on it which was slowly revealed as it slid from beneath its handle hiding place. from thirty, forty feet away, you could get away with such a mistake. but when the blade is projected to a size of 10 feet tall on a screen in front of you, it becomes obvious that some(body) gave up trying to make this a good movie.

don't see this movie. if you want to see jumblies in slow motion, i'm sure there are plenty of places on the internet you can find them.

that is all. if you want to respond to this opinion, bring it on.
