Summary: Pretty decent.
The special effects were pretty good, and mixed; in the credits I saw about nine different computer graphics subcontractors. Eventually there'll be no difference between movies and video games, I guess. Angelina Jolie is charming, and there's a lot of action in this movie, but there could have been more action, as the movie was a bit slow in places. Also, the idea is a bit ridiculous-- why is an archaelogist so wealthy? Go figure.

Summary: Decent mindless action movie
Decent action movie. PG-13, so don't expect anything more sensual than the first one. On dvd, be sure to see the alternate ending-- I liked it better than the ending they actually used. I thought they could have made a bit more use of the Escheresque scene near the end than they did.
