June 21, 2008A fun ride with lots of the same fun from the first movie. While lots of what happens in these movies stretches the imagination the cast does a very good job of pulling it all together.

February 9, 2012I'll be honest I can't remember the first very much but I did quite like this. The cast is very good for just a silly film, Jon Voight, Ed Harris, Harvey Keitel and Cage...impressive. The film is really a kind of filler for the absence of 'Indy 4' or any Indy films really, and le... read more

December 27, 2011I hate that this film is the exact same film as the first, but it's still fun. A bit sillier at times and slightly more unbelievable, but still a fun ride. Although I have no desire to buy this DVD ever, anytime the movie comes on TV, I normally watch it simply because it's enter... read more

November 25, 2011Nicholas Cage + Jerry Bruckheimer = Peanut butter and jelly. But would you want to eat that as a staple of your diet? Me Neither. However, there comes a time when such a sandwich would hit the spot. I'm drunk and I'm watching National Treasure 2. It's silly, crazy bullshit, but d... read more

September 6, 2011With enough legal thrills (well, up to a certain level, considering this is targeted somewhat at younger audiences) to get you through, NATIONAL TREASURE 2: BOOK OF SECRETS, though not as good as its predecessor, and not even following along with the same plot, is a nice, easy th... read more

August 20, 2011This is the sequel to the first National Treasure movie. Ben's great great grandfather was implicated in the assassination of President Lincoln, so Ben (Cage) and his dad (Voight) set out to clear their family name. In doing so they globe trot, kidnap the present day president an... read more

May 30, 2011This sequel surpasses the original. It had more exciting chase scenes. Its acting was average as usual. The plot was a major improvement, being even more historic and interesting. Overall I understand why it got negative reviews, but I liked it.

April 26, 2011Sequel to National Treasure is an entertaining sequel to National Treasure. I enjoyed this film and I view both films as a toned downed, Disney version of Indiana Jones. The film despite the characters perils is never really threatening and you know that because it was made by a ... read more

April 11, 2011It's better than the original. It's a spectacular and breathtaking adventure that's fast, thrilling and pulse-pounding all the way to the end. It's relentlessly exciting, wickedly funny and explosively entertaining. An awesome globe-hopping action-packed adventure. Great stunts a... read more

January 16, 2011Looks like they took the same fuckin' screenplay from the first one, and changed the name.
He kidnappes the president of the United States, and everything will be forgotten only if he proves his great great great grand-father was innocent ?
Bullshit.

Leave it to coproducer Jerry Bruckheimer to revive the Indiana Jones cycle without the period setting, the camp elements, or Spielberg's efficiency; director Jon Turteltaub just plods along. Full Review

This sequel is what you would expect: If you liked the original, you'll probably enjoy this retread. But be warned: It bogs down in a drawn-out scene near the end. Full Review

Peter Howell, Toronto Star
As much as you want to applaud the movie's winking commitment to its own Looney Tunes logic, it's frustrating when lazy and illogical plot devices are used like cattle prods. Full Review

Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle
This American history-themed action thriller doesn't get many points for realism, but it makes up ground in so many other areas that you probably won't care. Full Review

Is it possible to enjoy Book of Secrets? Obviously, although its lunacy requires a level of suspension of disbelief that some will be incapable of attaining. Full Review

The hyperactive sequel National Treasure: Book of Secrets sends its archaeologist hero on a globetrotting quest that might have been devised after a long night of Wikipedia surfing. Full Review

It's another flick about maps, landmarks and buried treasure that makes The Da Vinci Code look like Tolstoy. Full Review

The film is baffling -- the scheme that links the conspirators throughout three centuries would flummox the Illuminati -- but as a sort of vacation scrapbook of the lovely places where the cast spent ... Full Review
