Certainly this was a step forward in this franchise but I won't easily say I like this better than the first one. I'm quite happy with this supposed prequel has done and it's a bit refreshing to see Hanks in action once again. Ron Howard gave us exactly what we are looking for at this day and age, which is fast paced heart pumping sequences with a touch of European sites/architecture in the background. Also the thriller part never really looses its steam which is why you're trying to focus on everything to not miss a detail. A little downside for me was the Big reveal which doesn't hit me that much cause I kinda knew what the outcome would be even if I didn't read the book. But overall it was good, the subplot's a bit science fiction but nonetheless forgivable. So if you're into the National treasure/CSI/Indie format you’d probably should go and take a peek at this.
