BigW DVD Sale for only $5: Lara Croft Tomb Raider Series

The film received primarily negative reviews from critics, who criticized the film's video game-like action sequences and senseless plot, though Jolie's performance as Croft was praised by critics and fans of the video game series alike. Despite the negative reception, the film was a financial success, ranking at number one in its opening weekend at the box office. At the time of the film's release, it was the highest-grossing video game adaptation until it was surpassed by Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, which grossed $336 million. The film is also the highest-grossing action film with a woman in the lead role, next to Sigourney Weaver's Aliens.
