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

National Treasure 2 July 19, 2008
Very enjoyable movie. This is a case where the sequel is better than the original. This is a movie that can be enjoyed by the entire family (at least twelve and up).

Great sequel to the first National Treasure!! July 18, 2008
National Treasure 2 - Book of Secrets (Widescreen)

I loved this movie. I thought it was much better than the first one. Lots of little surprises and makes you wonder if any of this stuff is actually for real.

As good as the first, with it's own twists July 17, 2008
The long and the short of it are: I expected an attempt at recreating the sense of adventure and Patriotism of the first film. What I got was a film that is excellent on it's own merits, with the same wonderful core group of actors. Bravo!!
I live in the armpit of America, euphamistically called the "Heartland". So, I have to wait for everything to come out on video. I'm NOT paying the Satellite people over $5 to see something I can buy. Although I usually rent them from Netflix first, because I NEVER buy sight unseen.
I was happily pleased with the film, and that technology allows that a DVD may be watched 100 times without degrading the quality and forcing us to buy a replacement DVD. The Disney Pukes are/have figured a way to make our DVDs degrade with time. They will burn in Hell for that.

National Treasure Blu Ray review. July 17, 2008
Being blu-ray the quality is very good. I always found the first National Treasure fun to watch and got a few laughs in. As for the second one, I could hardly sit through the thing. It was like watching a really bad version of the first one. It stinks and I don't like it!
