I'm not familiar with the computer game - if I were, I would be doubly grateful to see Angelina Jolie in the leading role. If they HAD seen it, they'd know that Spielberg edited his action sequences so as to let the audience know what was going on, to give us an idea of where the hero stood and what obstacles he faced also that John Williams wrote actual MUSIC, complete with themes and chords and rhythms and consecutive bars that often as not differed from one another. "Tomb Raider" is "Raiders of the Lost Ark" emulated by people who haven't seen it. As if that weren't enough, someone - it may have been the composer, it may have been the director - thought that the action scenes would be best accompanied by a tuneless, relentless, jackhammer techno beat. It was the choreographer's work that was masterful the idiots who filmed and edited it did their darndest to make it choppy, incoherent, and unexciting. The use of space in the bunjee-jumping-inside fight scene is masterful - all three dimensions are used in a clever way.
