: : Hey any of you guys seen the new Tomb Raider trailer? WOW Angelina Jolie, Lara Croft, would make a great counterpart for Indiana Jones. Or maybe a great nemesis! Anyhow I thougt it was interesting that both Indy and Tomb Raider are Paramount films. Geez Indy is old enough to be her father. And BTW great Indy pics Vogel

: I thought the trailer was impressive, but it seems like an action movie in the vein that The Matrix began (Charlie's Angels [although spoofy] and MI:2 also have that feel to them). Sure, TR has a dash of Indy thrown in, but she's a distant cousin in the Indy family tree. Now, Mummy on the other hand is a son. Now that was a movie made in the "classic adventure" mold. If I see "bullet-time" in Mummy 2 I'm going to thrash around on the ground like I just drank the blood of Kali.

: Don't get me wrong, I thought Matrix and MI:2 were fantastic action movies, and maybe Tomb Raider will be too. But that kind of movie just doesn't evoke the same feeling of adventure as Indy.

Yeah when I saw the trailer I thought another Matrix. I like your analogy of TR being a distant cousin to IJ. Good observation. Great minds think alike
