The good news and the bad...

Rating: 6/10 (9 February 2008)

Always starting with the bad news... It is well within the shadow of its predecessor, and it doesn't have the thrill and magic the first movie displayed. Ben Gates's father seems to be played like a bumbling old man, which is confusing when he was previously played as a strong, proud character in the first movie. And what was it with the British accents, why were they sounding like they were just off the set of Oliver Twist! Very few of us Brits talk like that.
The good news is... A sufficient amount of interesting conspiracy theories, puzzles and treasure make the mouth water, but it does get a little dry during the over played car chasing and action scenes. A nice amount of humour stops your mind from straying and the hints of a third movie really makes you want to know more.
On a separate note, doesn't Nick Cage look old?...
