Less engrossing than its 2004 predecessor National Treasure, Jon Turteltaub's busy sequel National Treasure: Book of Secrets is nevertheless a colorful and witty adventure, another race against overwhelming odds for the answer to a historical riddle. Ben Gates (Nicolas Cage), the treasure hunter who feverishly sought, in the first film, the whereabouts of a war chest hidden by America's forefathers, is now charged with protecting family honor. When a rival (Ed Harris) offers alleged proof that Gates' ancestor, Thomas Gates, was not a Civil War-era hero but a participant in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, Ben and his father (Jon Voight) and crew (Justin Bartha, Diane Kruger) hopscotch through Paris, London, Washington DC, and South Dakota to gather evidence refuting the claim. The film is most fun when the hunt, as in National Treasure, squeezes Ben into such impossible situations as examining twin desks in the queen's chambers in Buckingham Palace and the White House's Oval Office, or kidnapping an American president (Bruce Greenwood) for a few minutes of frank talk. Helen Mirren, the previous year's Oscar winner for Best Actress, wisely joins the cast of a likely hit film as Ben's archaeologist mother, long-estranged from Voight's character but as feisty as the rest of the family. Returning director Turteltaub takes excellent advantage of his colorful backdrops in European capitals and the always-eerie Mount Rushmore, and oversees some wildly imaginative sets for this dramedy's feverish third act in an audacious and completely unexpected, legendary setting. If National Treasure: Book of Secrets doesn't feel quite as crisp and unique as its predecessor, it is still ingenious and wry enough to laugh a bit at itself. --Tom Keogh Stills from National Treasure: Book of Secrets (click for larger image)

 National Treasure 2; Book of Serets July 4, 2008
Just when I thought we'd get a GOOD sequel, (Why did I even think that??), out comes another, "been there, done that..." This is just too predictable.
No detail like the first movie provided so well. Characters... no development... just chases, impossible situations and burns.... I could go on and on... I'd been more content just enjoying the first movie...and never knowing how poor the second one is.........

I thought it was quite boring as it was so similar to the first one in plot and development.

Excellent family movie July 3, 2008
This movie was a blast and just as good as the first one. Nickolas Cage is a tremendous actor. I highly recommend this movie to any families with kids ages 7 and up!!
Another fun romp July 3, 2008
My college aged daughter and I saw this in the theater and couldn't wait to own the DVD. I purchased it for her and we watched it together again... just as much fun as the first time we saw it. I recommend it for family's who'd like to enjoy an action film without foul language, gore and unnecessary violence. I heartily recommend the first movie in this series as well, National Treasure.
