Line 6:
The second film, ''Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life'', has Lara in search of Pandora's Box. Evil scientist Jonathan Reiss (Ciaran Hinds) seeks to weaponise the contents of Pandora's Box for biological warfare. Lara is paired with mercenary and former love interest Terry Sheridan ([[Gerard Butler]]), an ex-SAS man who betrayed the country and gets his chance to pay penance. While the first movie embraced its video game roots, the second attempts to insert a little actual drama and tries to take itself seriously as an action-adventure flick -- so seriously that some considered it not fun enough.

They beat a hasty retreat, but one must wonder what gave the women that impression. It's possible they were being dressed up to marry women in the tribe, but that's sure not the impression you get when you watch it -- and if they're running away from being married to women, doesn't that make it even [[Not That There's Anything Wrong
