Book of Secrets    January 7, 2009
Sherman Shell (Springfield, MO)
This vid is action-packed, exciting, and well-produced. It is a great follow up to National Treasure 1. Not a chick-flick!


Sequels can be good    January 6, 2009
Faith Powell (Baker City, OR)
Good sequel to a good movie. Very entertaining, lots of action and fun to watch.


A Grand Adventure    January 4, 2009
S. Peek (Rocky Mountains, USA)
This is an action packed adventure. It is one that will keep viewers entertained.

This sequel to 'National Treasure' once again features Nicholas Cage as Benjamin Gates. He gets involved in another search for a lost fortune. Although the amount of gold being sought is monumental, Gates' primary motivation for involvement is clearing the family name. His great grandfather has just been implicated in the Lincoln assassination. Gates thinks that solving this mystery will also lead to redemption.

Although the story is exciting, it is extremely farfetched. To avoid spoiling the plot, I'll try to be vague in the following commentary. Some of the highly improbable events include burglarizing two of the most secure locations on Earth as well as a possible kidnapping of the president of the United States. In addition to these flaws, some of the more extreme action scenes are virtual carbon copies of the predecessor movie.

In spite of these problems, this show is a lot of fun. I enjoyed watching it and I think that most others will as well.

I thought the movie was well done. Good action through out. I would have preferred a full screen version. I am not impressed with wide screen. It requires to large of a TV to gain the size advantage comparable to my 32'' TV.

National Tresure 2 - Book of Secrets starring Nicholas Cage is a solid sequel but I just feel something was something this time around. The action is pretty good but the plot was a little hard to grasp. Cage is perfect in this role, not sure I can say the same thing for Helen Mirren. This film is a mixed bag for me.
