Grounded in history imbued with myth and mystery Disney's NATIONAL TREASURE 2: BOOK OF SECRETS takes you on a globe-trotting quest full of adrenaline-pumping twists and turns -- all leading to the final clue in a mysterious and highly guarded book containing centuries of secrets. But there's only one way to find it -- Ben Gates must kidnap the President. Packed with fast-paced action and crackling humor NATIONAL TREASURE 2: BOOK OF SECRETS is a movie your entire family will want to rediscover again and again.System Requirements:Running Time: 124 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE/THRILLERS Rating: PG UPC: 786936735390 Manufacturer No: 05439300 Amazon.com: 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)
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - As Good as the originalAgain I was on the edge of my seat and caught up in the search just as I was with "Natural Treasure." If you liked that one you'll love this one. Rating: - Great movie, a must see!National Treasure 2 - Book of Secrets (Widescreen)was a great movie to see! This sequel was just as good as the first story of National Treasure. The movie came very quickly and it was in excellent condition. We can highly recommend purchasing this movie. Rating:  - Umm ...Does Anyone Know How Finding The Treasure Would Clear The Gates Family Name?I admit that watching the first NATIONAL TREASURE movie was a guilty pleasure, but here ends my enjoyment of anything National or Treasure. Sequels are tough to pull off (can anyone say "Indiana Jones 4?") and one has to wonder why Hollywood continues to pump them out even when the script fails on almost every level ...and such was the case with National Treasure 2. If anyone can tell me how finding this new treasure helped solve the Gates family's problem related to their relatives' ... Read More Rating: - Truly a National TreasureIs it as good as the original? No, but what sequel really is. Is it worthy of ownership. ABSOLUTELY! This movie has some good puzzles and action, and is quite good. It is just different enough from the original to be interesting. Highly recommended! Rating: - Good, but not as good as the first. Well, this movie was suspenseful and mysterious like the first one. It game the viewer a good historical listen. But it still wasn't quite as historical, mysterious and suspenseful as the first National Treasure. But over all I think it was a successful sequel, more successful then most sequels to films. + about the only 2 sequels I can think of off the top of my head that were better then the first are "Lepricahn in the Hood", "American Pie 2", and "Rush Hour 2". |
