[[IGN]] gave the film the lowest out of all the scores, a 0.0 ("Disaster") rating, condemning everything from character performances to the ending.<ref>{{cite web |author1=Glen Oliver |author-link1=Glen Oliver |title=IGN: Tomb Raider Review |url=http://movies.ign.com/articles/300/300598p1.html |website=[[IGN]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071026065034/http://movies.ign.com/articles/300/300598p1.html |archive-date=2007-10-26 |date=26 October 2007}}{{cite web |title=Review of Lara Croft: Tomb Raider |website= IGN |date= June 15, 2001 |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2001/06/15/review-of-lara-croft-tomb-raider }}</ref> 
Todd McCarthy of ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' said "[the film] has the distinction of being a major motion picture that’s far less imaginative, and quite a bit more stupid, than the interactive game it’s based on."  McCarthy praises Jolie but says "everything else about this frenetic production is flat and unexciting."<ref>{{cite web |date= 15 June 2001 |last= McCarthy |first= Todd |author-link= Todd McCarthy |title= Lara Croft: Tomb Raider |url= https://variety.com/2001/film/reviews/lara-croft-tomb-raider-1200468801/ |website= [[Variety (magazine)|Variety]] }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |date=1 January 2000 |author= Simon Braund |author-link= Simon Braund |title= Lara Croft: Tomb Raider |url= https://www.empireonline.com/movies/reviews/lara-croft-tomb-raider-review/ |website= Empire }}</ref>
A positive review came from [[Roger Ebert]], who awarded the film three out of four stars and said, {{"'}}Lara Croft Tomb Raider' elevates goofiness to an art form. Here is a movie so monumentally silly, yet so wondrous to look at, that only a churl could find fault."<ref>{{cite news |date= June 15, 2001 |first= Roger |last= Ebert |author-link= Roger Ebert |url= https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/lara-croft-tomb-raider-2001 |title= Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (review) |newspaper=[[Chicago Sun-Times]] |access-date= July 3, 2011 }}</ref>
