Even if you liked the first this is one to be avoided!

Rating: 4/10 (17 June 2008)

Surprisingly Nicolas Cage's acting isn't the worst thing in this film. The lacklustre script, unnecessarily over patriotic ideology of the characters and utterly absurd storyline claim ownership to the main reasons this is certainly a film to miss. Despite going in with low expectations having not liked the first one very much, i still found myself disappointed when I left the cinema.
However its not all bad as there are humorous parts and some well connected historical points, but they are too few and far between to give this film any substance. Justin Bartha (Riley Poole) once again gives a convincing portrayal of the awkward third wheel. But neither of these justify sitting through the 90 other percent of rubbish.
I would have to give this a generous 4/10, and certainly wont be recommending it to anyone I like.
