National Treasure /National Treasure 2 - Book of Secrets [Blu-ray] (Amazon.com Exclusive)
Rating:
- A Fun Ride!
I absolutely loved the first movie, National Treasure, and couldn't wait to see the sequel. Now the first film is probably a better movie overall, but the second film is very enjoyable and has more action to it than the first. I think most people really enjoy seeing how Ben Gates (Nicolas Cage)can get into and out of severly restricted and off-limits places to check clues without getting caught, such looking into the Queen's desk at Buckingham Palace. All the original actors are back in this film from the first, giving it some continuity, and some new charactors make apperances here, notably Helen Mirren as Ben's language professor mom, Emily. The thrills and chills come fast and furious here, and overall the film is good clean family fun. I'm holding out hope for a third National Treasure!

- "Da Vinci Code for Dummies"
This unnecessary sequel to the 2004 blockbuster sacrifices logic for globetrotting chases and obnoxious comic relief. A solid cast tries to keep the serial-style lunacy afloat, but "National Treasure 2" lacks the fun and intrigue of its predecessor. Mount Rushmore was better served in Alfred Hitchcock's "North by Northwest."

- Family entertainment.....
I can't help but like the first movie better, it was so fresh and had a much more interesting villian. Second movies are hard to make when a movie was as succesful as 'National Treasure' but this one is pretty good. Family entertainment all the way and those movies are hard to find these days. Sorry to use the cliche but it works. It's very difficult to find a film that all family members will enjoy, it's pure fantasy but not the creepy kind and covers all the bases. If they want to do a third one and they did set the basis for that, I say, why not? Go for it. I'll take Nick Cage over a very dorky, old, Harrison Ford anyday!
