* VindicatedByHistory: The film and its sequel used to be remembered mostly as an early 2000s curiosity that did little more than helping to launch Creator/AngelinaJolie's career. However, after ''Film/TombRaider2018'' was released to an audience that found it a bland and uninspired product, many people started to look back at the Jolie films, mainly the first, feeling that, even if they weren't good per se, they were at least fun and entertaining flicks where one could feel the creators (and especially Jolie) had enjoyed themselves while making them.

* HeartwarmingInHindsight: The filming in Cambodia helped spark Creator/AngelinaJolie's lifelong passion for humanitarian activism, after she witnessed children being affected by landmines in a country that just recovered from a long civil war. She later became an ambassador for the UN High Council for Refugees and helped bring awareness to neglected conflict zones and displaced people worldwide.

Did you somehow missed the fact the film was part of a massive franchise at the peak of its popularity? Or that it was a Star Making Role for Jolie, rather than her being already established?


* JustHereForGodzilla: How many people who saw the film had ever heard of Lara Croft before, knew anything about archaeology, or paid attention to the ostensible plot or the identities of the other characters? How many went to the theater solely to watch Creator/AngelinaJolie [[MsFanservice doing backflips in short-shorts and a tank-top]]?
