Also, NT2 has a blatant sequel primer implanted into the story which was gratuitous and stupid. Be prepared for NT3 in 2 years.

The first one was borderline thumbs up for me, as I enjoy this kind of thing despite recognizing the implausibility. The second one just seems dumb.

I heard that Nick Cage ad-libbed the blatant sequel teaser and that they might not actually use it for #3, perhaps saving it for #4 if they use it at all. I think I saw that #3 is already in the works.

The first one incorporated a lot of American history and spoke to characters that the viewer at least had heard of. The sequal was far more internationally based, and just a little too easy (in terms of putting clues together etc...)

I didn't think it was horrible though, you've got to take this movie for what it is...a disney movie about finding hidden treasures and unraveling mysterious clues.

There's no doubt in my mind that there will be a third one.

That's the way to look at it. I agree that they made solving the clues far too easy.

The twin sisters? He solves that talking to French police.

This must have been during the hour and a half that I was asleep. They went to France?

I liked the first one, despite some pretty obvious errors that they shouldn't have made. Some were part of the plot, so you can excuse their bending of history, but why mess up something as simple as the number of people who signed the Declaration of Independence?
