repeats too much from the first film

Rating: 4/10 (28 December 2007)

I really liked the first film, but the newness has worn off this time around. It's the same concept except this time Ben Gates must prove his great grandfather had nothing to do with the assassination of Lincoln and instead knew the where abouts of another secret treasure, the city of gold. All the characters from last year are involved with the addition of Gates' mother. They look for clues in Europe, Washington DC, and Mount Rushmore. Ed Harris plays the bad guy who wants the treasure for himself. As to how they get from London to Mount Rushmore, they follow clues, exactly like the first film. And the comedy was very lackluster. A few of the comedic scenes worked, but many didn't.
FINAL VERDICT: Just not as enjoyable as the first one. The same plot points are used and little creativity is seen.
