Well, this will be out tomorrow. Will anyone be seeing it?

modage · July 24, 2003, 12:35:16 PM

is this the new one from "academy award winner Angelina Jolie"?

filmcritic · July 24, 2003, 12:53:29 PM

Yeah, it's the sequel to the first Tom Raider.

Tom Raider? must have missed it

The first one was stupid and goofy but also kind of fun.

edison · July 24, 2003, 01:13:20 PM

are you easily amused?

filmcritic · July 24, 2003, 01:32:58 PM

No, I really did enjoy it. I felt the same way Roger Ebert did about it. It's stupid, implausible but entertaining.

I'm kind of looking forward to seeing the sequel.

Well, it certainly looks better than the first and it does have a better action director behind it (Jan De Bont). I just hope this one has a story.

Lets look at his last two films: The Haunting= SHIT; Speed 2: Cruise Control= SHIT

i think hes going for a 3-peat.

"Haunting" was shit, but it wasn't action. "Speed 2" is not as bad as it's made out to be.

No matter how bad it might be, it will probably be better than the Charlie's Angels sequel.

SPEED TOO is worth watching, if only for one classic scene. in order for us, the audience, to understand that willem dafoe is a bad guy, a crucial scene is inserted. willem dafoe arrives in his room on the boat, and gets out a jar with leeches. he then, starts putting them all over his body and going "ahh". i havent seen this movie since the theatres when i was 15, but i still remember how hilarious this scene was. i dont remember ever figuring out what purpose it served, but it was a pretty great scene. the first one i loved however and watched many many times in the theatres and on video.

I saw "Cradle of Life" and it was about the same as the first one but a little better.

I despised the first one, and so I'm having trouble mustering up the interest in seeing this one, even though I probably will.

Charlie's Angels 2 rocked, though.
