Too Simple, Too Naive

When I saw a wooden stake that had been immersed in water for more than 500 years and did not rot, I finally decided to put aside my prejudice and have fun with the screenwriter to the end.

This one doesn't look so much like a sequel to the last one, but an enhanced version, like a video game. Male No. 1 has strengthened, facing riddles and clues, all he needs to do is turn back to the screen and tell the audience the result. Male No. 2 has strengthened, and any firewall is useless in front of his Apple notebook. The enemy's AI has been significantly reduced. As an opponent who is older, has more experience, has stronger funds, and has more thunderbolts, all he can do is to follow our great Mr. Gates to the treasure. There are more invincible props: a romantic president, a genius mother, which completely turns this work from an action-adventure film into a funny travel film.

If the props are just the props themselves, what's the point of thinking? For what you see is what you get, silly music is the only way out, but unfortunately it is too late to understand.
