Sequel fades

Rating: 6/10 (21 January 2008)

Not as good as the first movie though the end picks the pace for a while.
Unfortunately the only big reason to watch this specific movie is to support the possibility that another sequel will be written to the standards of the first movie.
A little too matter of fact at the clever points and break ins, etc. The main characters aren't nearly as interesting on average - though a spark hits here and there. The tech support guy is nearly cartoon as is the disappointing villain until some inconsistent changes at the end.
The other support cast is where the better writing and acting happens especially Mom and Dad -- sort of like how Sean Connery stole the last Indiana Jones.
Big plot holes: all the clues point to specific things that didn't exist and mostly weren't planned at the point the clue was created.
