Review
This movie is like from the the 1st movie, nothing really special to look forward to. Interesting facts about American and it's history was shown. Acting is normal I guess.
Clues and puzzles was solved easily like as though not much thought was required.
(why bother leaving clues if it was that simple...might as well tell you where it is)
Breaking in to high security places with guards all over makes it look like a walk in a park. (and i mean really high security places...say Buckingham palace)
Computer genius Riley Poole aka Justin Bartha makes hacking to any securuity system a breeze.
Look out for the high speed car chase scene through the city which apparently no cops appeared. hmm?
Let me do a run down of what the main characters do;
Ben Gates: the person who solves the clues easily
Riley Poole: the person who can hack into ANY computer system
Abigail Chase(Ben GF) : helps check the missing page from the diary of John Wilkes for clues
Patrick Gates(Ben's father): helps decipher a code (the clue that was passed down from his grandfather...surprising how a person of his age can remember the exact clue after so many years without writting it down)
Emily Appleton(Ben's mother): helps decipher Native American glyphs
Mitch Wilkinson: helps with some clues which only he has.
Ending was expected but with a minor crap twist which I was like :S Also lookout for a "waterproof hand phone"
This show has entertainment value ... but good for a weekday and watch only if you are bored for a weekend.
P.s wonder if there is a 3rd installment ... look out for "page 47"
