With the superb choice of Angelina Jolie to play the eponymous role, they were obvoiusly half way there to creating a great adaption of the computer game.
The producers succeeded admirably to bring the puzzle elements found in the game to the big screen, however, everything else seemed strangely empty. And the statue sequence was completely devoid of any tension. Nowhere in the film did Lara seem under any sort of real threat.
As a fan of the games, I was un-offended by this first attempt, but I look forward to the sequel.
The music was crap. Listen to the music on its own and it doesn't bring visions of adventure and mystery like a soundtrack should.
Nathan McRee, the (first three) game's composer, is sorely, sorely missed.
