Musical statues, without the music.

Rating: Null/10 (18 October 2011)

Loved the first movie, I got right into it; this one I didn't.
To save the day our heroes have to follow a trail of statues around Vatican City. They go from one to the next with no real mystery or devious puzzle solving they simply have to look up the architect in an old book.
It is very much like one of those tedious computer adventure games where you have to collect a tea pot to defeat a troll, to get a key that opens a window so you can collect a frying pan... etc. Except you have to watch Tom Hanks play it... for two hours!
Where National Treasure and Indian Jones have great locations and you feel like you are on an adventure, this is firmly planted in the Vatican at night. Which the film has you believe is entirely populated with statues and angry Italians.
Production is of course top notch. Not terrible just very dull.
