comment |
Darker and Edgier: This film has higher stakes than in the first and significantly less whimsical tone. The film also does this to the original Pandora myth (or as Lara describes it, "the Sunday School version"), which wasn't exactly warm and fuzzy to begin with. Rather than containing pain and suffering, Pandora's box contains a virus so deadly that it's described as (and may well be) an elemental anti-life force; the one time it's known to have been opened in the past, it levelled an entire army. Furthermore, while the original Pandora's box was said to contain hope as well as pain, there's no such silver lining described in this one: it's simply an extremely efficient WMD. |

Cruel and Unusual Death: A man coughs up blood until he dies after ingesting the modified Ebola virus that Reiss had slipped into his drink. Reiss in turn gets his comeuppance when he's thrown into the acid pool and melted alive, screaming all the while. Reiss's mercenaries are torn to pieces by the creatures guarding the Cradle of Life. |

It Works Better with Bullets Lara Croft is being chased by Chen Lo who's carrying a sword, but she grabs a Lee Enfield from a crate of them and pulls the trigger. Of course, the rifle isn't stored loaded. That's not a problem as she then uses its bayonet and buttstock to good effect. Invoked when The Dragon deliberately ejects his pistol magazine onto the floor, then tries to shoot Lara with his other pistol when she sticks her head up to shoot him. |

Kill the Poor: Reiss. He's got a strong streak of Omnicidal Maniac in him, but as his New Era Speech to Lara clarifies, he doesn't actually mean for the Pandora virus to wipe out the entire human race - only most of them, thinning the herd so that only humanity's best specimens survive. What makes him this trope is that he has no intention of letting nature decide who these best specimens are, but instead is planning to manufacture an antidote and save what he considers to be the best: "heads of corporations, heads of state." (Admittedly, his reading of this trope defines "the poor" as "everybody but the very richest and most powerful.") |

Non-Action Big Bad: Reiss is a scientist, not a fighter, and lets his men do all the dirty work. Even when he fights Lara at the very end, he only lasts as long as he does because he's got a gun and she doesn't. Even after being shot in the arm, Lara still manages to get in several good hits and toss him into a pool of acid. |

Curiosity Killed the Cast: Lara is both a woman and a tomb raider, and Reiss suggests that, like Pandora, she's just as eager to open the box as he is.

Real Life Writes the Plot: More like Real Life Designs the Costumes, this film puts Lara in more outfits with longer sleeves. This was done because the makeup used to conceal Angelina Jolie's tattoos during the filming of the first film was not as effective as it was supposed to be. |

You Wouldn't Shoot Me: British Intelligence have given Lara the authority to kill Terry if needed. Terry however thinks she's just putting on a tough façade and, when she comes down to it, she can't bring herself to kill him. She disagrees, and tries to dump him in Hong Kong when she starts worrying he might betray her. |

Boxed Crook: Rogue Agent Terry Sheridan is imprisoned in Barla Kala. Lara gets him out and he's promised a clean slate and expensive payment if he helps Lara get her orb back. There's dramatic tension from the distinct possibility he might sell the orb back to Reiss or anyone else if he gets his hands on it. |

Only in It for the Money: Ultimately played straight with Terry Sheridan. It's not completely true, in that he does care about Lara, risks his life for her several times, and wants to share the spoils with her, but at the end of the day, if it's a choice between her and money, he'll choose the money. If it's a choice between the money and averting the risk of near-human-extinction by keeping Pandora from going on the market, he'll still choose the money. |

Captured on Purpose: Terry's plan for infiltrating the Shay-Ling, since he left somewhat under a cloud having stolen a truckload of ming vases and the sister of a Giant Mook—Chen leaves him with the latter to get reacquainted while he discusses business with Lara. Terry lets the goons pound on him only long enough for Lara to conclude her business before kicking their asses. |

Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Reiss' buyers.

As far as they know, Pandora is just another such weapon; they have no idea that it's far more virulent and incurable than anything they've ever seen, or that their provider is planning to use them to cause the extinction of most of the human race. |

Even after he's refused her offer and tried to kill her, she leaves him injured on the floor of his cave but still alive. She finally kills him when he still refuses to take the win and tries to shoot her In the Back. |

Mood Whiplash: In the second half of the film, there's a scene where Lara sets up the orb to find the location of the Circle of Life- meant to be a serious scene that will kickstart the climax of the film. Only catch? She's doing this in a random family's house, all while the Chinese dub of SpongeBob SquarePants plays on TV in the background. Note (Specifically, "Naughty Nautical Neighbors".) Played for drama when Terry does an After Action Patch Up on Lara with the usual Ship Tease. The Big Bad has been killed, the world has been saved and Terry has proven to be on the side of Good. Then she sees Terry stuffing Pandora's Box in a sack... |

Too Dumb to Live: Chen Lo. Attempts to extort one of the most dangerous men in the world for a job he's already being outrageously well paid for. Went into business with that man in the first place. Not only refused to take Lara's peace offers but continued attacking her to the point where she had no choice but to kill him (see It's Personal above). You'd be forgiven for wondering if he had a death wish. |

The Alcatraz: Barla Kala prison in Kazakhstan, where Terry Sheridan is imprisoned. The novelization goes into some detail about it, stating that the prison is a dumping ground for what are viewed as the most dangerous terrorists in the world: "where the civilized world sent those who would never learn to be civilized." The fact that Sheridan was imprisoned in the same place as literal al-Qaeda members gives us some idea of how his government views him. |

The second time in Africa he needs her alive because she knows the location of the Cradle of Life, saving him the trouble of searching the mountain for it. After the Hong Kong shootout Lara asks Terry exactly this—he had Reiss in his sights and didn't fire. He protests that he didn't have a clear shot, but it makes her suspect his motives and she tries to leave him behind in Hong Kong. |

Hope Spot: Lara finally lightens up to Terry when he realises he's on her side and not Reiss. Then she sees him stuffing Pandora's Box in a bag instead of throwing it back into the acid pool. |

We Can Rule Together |
| | Lara Croft: Tomb Raider – The Cradle of Life / int_c420a553 |
comment |
We Can Rule Together: Reiss tells Lara he'd have no problem if she was one of the ones he gave the antidote to. Of course she's one of The Beautiful Elite, so there's no reason why he wouldn't other than the minor fact of her thinking he's a genocidal loony. |

Temple of Doom: Averted with the Luna Temple; it's only dangerous because it starts to collapse when another quake hits while Lara is inside. |

comment |
Played for drama when Terry does an After Action Patch Up on Lara with the usual Ship Tease. The Big Bad has been killed, the world has been saved and Terry has proven to be on the side of Good. Then she sees Terry stuffing Pandora's Box in a sack... |

Shame If Something Happened |
| | Lara Croft: Tomb Raider – The Cradle of Life / int_e5c64f3f |
comment |
Shame If Something Happened: When Chen Lo holds out for more money, Reiss is shown looking through file photos of his wife and children (whom he names) and says it would be a pity if they caught a sudden and fatal disease. Chen succeeds in getting Reiss to raise his price for the orb, but this is likely why he refuses Lara's offer of protection. |

Clothing Damage: For once not used for fanservice. Reiss dangles Lara over the Acid Pool so she can grab Pandora's Box. When her reach isn't long enough, he tears her sleeve to extend it. She uses the opportunity for Giving Him The Strip. |

Chained to a Bed: Played With. Lara seduces Terry to let his guard down and cuffs his arm to the foot of her bed. He initially thinks she's getting kinky but she quickly establishes she intends to leave him there while she continues the mission on her own. |

comment |
Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Terry Sheridan believes that when push comes to shove, Lara won't be able to kill a man she loves for the sake of her principles. He's proven fatally wrong almost immediately. He can't understand evil much either. When Lara objects to Terry selling Pandora's Box he retorts that no-one's ever going to actually use it. Given that he's already encountered one Omnicidal Maniac, he should know better. |
