Worldwide Treasure Hunt August 11, 2008
31 out of 31 found this review helpful

I love National Treasure (the first film). I like Nic Cage in the films Faceoff, The Rock and Con Air, this film sorta cemented in my mind as an action film star

In this sequel, the search goes international. It starts interesting as Great Grandfather pf the Gates family (Cage and Jon Voight) is supposely linked to President Lincoln's murder. This leads the family on a hunt to prove the relatives innocents.

Well this leads to an internation treasure hunt for clues. Followed by Mitch Wilkerson (Ed Harris), the family dogged around. Which leads to the President's book of secrets in the (where less) but the Library of Congress...to explain how cage's character gets there, I'd have to kill you

This is Cage's film. The other character seem to evolve around him. Oscar winner Helen Mirren is wasted as Cage's mom.

The real winner is the audience who is too quickly taken to Paris and then to London, but the travelodge is fun at best

Justin Bartha is the great comic foil of this piece. His sidekick role to Cage's Ben Gates is legend. He is what makes this romp fun

It isnt better than the original, but it is entertaining

Good clean fun for the family. August 1, 2008
I am a history buff, a Nicolas Cage fan, and an adventure lover. These are great movies that the entire family can enjoy. Historical inaccuracies aside, the bottom line is that they are just fun. A cleaner version of Indy Jones really. Don't get me wrong, nothing compares to Indy, but those movies with their adult jokes, flirting, and scary voodoo aren't really child appropriate, so it is cool to have similar movies we can all view together.

Deja vu all over again July 30, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful

I rented this movie because I really enjoyed the first National Treasure - sort of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade meets The Da Vinci Code with a smattering of The Goonies thrown in for good measure.

But for the entire time while watching National Treasure 2, I had a "you've got to be kidding me" expression plastered on my face. The reason being that the plot structure for the second movie is EXACTLY the same as it was in the first movie. There was even a time during the denoument that I thought the DVD was flawed and it somehow switched over to the end of the first movie. It was that similar.

The only real difference between the two movies was the addition of the great (and still luscious) Helen Mirren as Ben's mother. Disney must have paid her a fortune for there is no other reason for her to have done this movie.

A real waste of time if you already saw the first movie.

5 out of 5 stars

As Good As The First July 27, 2008

National Treasure 2 has an exciting plot, amazing suspense and fantastic
action sequences. It held my interest throughout and was very believable.
I enjoyed it as much as National Treasure 1, I highly recommend it.
