What I learned from watching this movie (spoilers)

(Before I start, let me say I liked this movie, the actors are all great, Dina Meyer is fantastic, and I'm just joking.)

Things I learned;

Even when she's playing Lara Croft, Dina Meyer is still totally awesome.

If you want the monster to have a big fight with the two heroes then he must change into a man and just knock them out ... however everyone else he can instantly kill while in the guise of the sphinx.

This movie is apparantly better than the 1977 movie "Riddles of the Sphinx", according to comments in the IMDB.

If you're in a protected underground complex and you need to take a jet to travel around the world to exotic locations and enter other dimenions while being chased by a flying indestructable monster, it's a good idea to take your 16 year old daugher along with you. (Let's face it, you'll need her.)

If you've managed to visit several dimensions and outrun the monster by working as a team with your resourceful 16 year old daughter and your sexy gun-toting ex-girlfriend, then right at the end of the movie you should leave them and go to face the monster alone ... after all they'll both be suddenly crying, as they are only girls after all.

The traitor will turn out to be the only other main character in the movie, who happens to wear black and acts like a jerk all the time.

You can't get an internet connection while you're in an alternate universe ... the signal is too weak.

(I'm not going near the 'getting naked and sending your child to therapy' aspect.)

You forgot about the best part of the movie, the sexy ex-gf (Dina Meyer) fashion choice's. She wears tight leather, spandex leggings, and high heeled knee boots, all in black, no matter where they in the world they go, or what they are trying to do. I guess she doesn't want her clothes to clash with all that heat she's always packing? Gotta love that! :-)

I learned it's damn difficult to teach crippled spastics to dance and the sands of time can get in yer lunch. Therefore, eat out.

What is the sound an imploding pimp makes?

That part of the movie was awesome.

Oh, there is one other thing lift out. I learned that if you plan to shave your head for a movie part you need to do it early enough to even out your skin tone or else hire a better make-up department.

I learned that you just need a 16 year old daughter with a PSP kind thing to solve the riddles of the sphinx and maybe all other worldshaking problems. Gosh that was pretty annoying. For a scientist who studied these stuff Robert was pretty stupid.
