If you have patiently sat through two stories, you *really* need to see these movies in entirety. The first is not as good as the second IMO, but it isn't bad. You just have to keep in mind they're based on a video game and as such, have some pretty fantastic elements that would otherwise make you raise an eyebrow. But there's a good deal of humor in them, especially the interactions among Lara and Hillary and Bryce; those two made the movies for me, personally (though in the second one, I have to say Gerard Butler didn't hurt *G*).

I am flattered you enjoy these, even though it's not your fandom. Thanks!
