Although some of the film's many twists are not that surprising, they're satisfyingly delivered, and with a strong supporting cast .plus striking dream imagery, this adds up to arguably the best in the franchise so far. Early promise proves misleading in a sequel that should be far better than The Da Vinci Code than it actually is. Koepp has managed a brisk adaptation, although some of the dialogue can feel very forced, particularly when it comes to the clue-solving set-ups. Still, Howard keeps the viewer constantly occupied, Felicity Jones is an engaging sidekick, and there's clearly a lot more mileage left for Tom Hanks in this franchise's tank.
