National Treasure: Book of Secrets Reviews

I promise that I will not give anything away with my review.  It is my opinion that this is the best sequel ever.  I didn't really enjoy the first movie.  My family loved it.  The only reason I went to the theater to see, this is because they forced me.  The movie lasted a little over two hours but you would never have known it.  It was so fast paced and action packed that those two hours were over before you knew it.  My only complaint with the movie is that it is very far fetched.  But you knew that if you watched the first one. … read full review »

I really enjoyed this movie.  I love Nicholas Cage and think he is a wonderful actor.  The story was a little far-fetched but still very interesting.  I love a good story, and this one was good.  The ending was not what I expected and left a little something to be desired.  I enjoyed the interaction between characters especially the couples very realistic arguments and squabbles.  I would recommend this film to just about anyone, and plan to buy it on DVD when it comes… read full review »

I went to see National Treasure: Book of Secrets the day it came out.  Despite what you might see in the trailers and it's name... the movie isn't about the Book of Secrets.  That's only a small part of the movie.  My husband saw the previews and thought the movie would be really cheesy, but after seeing it, his opinion changed.  It was much better than what I was expecting.  There was plenty of action, a good bit of comedy (thanks to Riley), drama, romance, and, of course, treasure. — — I don't want to give away the ending, but I wouldn't be surprised if… read full review »

I really loved the first National Treasure. This sequel was great. It was more action packed than the first, and I laughed during this movie... a lot. There were a lot of great one liners and even some physical comedy. The plot was addicting and the characters are even more lovable this time around. I have many more good things to say, but I can't without spoilers. — — On the downside, this sequel played like a reworked version of the first. Same basic plot, same character archetypes, but new lines, sets and puzzles. Instead of fleshing out the characters and taking them to the… read full review »

The second National Treasure is much like the first in terms of how the story develops.  The family history continues to unfold as Nicholas Cage's character puts together all of the clues to his newest mystery- still trying to uphold his family's good name.  Historical trivia is ripe throughout.  Many of the things they are able to pull off are highly unbelievable though- escaping the British police in Buckingham Palace would not happen as easily as they managed to make it.  If you saw the first one, this one is a very similar type of movie, focused on Civil War… read full review »

This was a wonderful, action packed film which taught me a lot about history that I didn't already know!! I was surprised by the amount of action and the fact that this movie was as good as the first.Usually the sequel doesn't turn out to be half as good as the original movie. Not only was the movie educational about history, but there were a lot of clues to figure out and tons of action to keep you on your toes!! — … read full review »

I love the first National Treasure and was almost fearful to see the sequel, just because I was afraid that it would be like most.  Not anywhere near as good as the first.  I was pleasantly surprised though!  The second was almost as good as the first.  There were a few issues I had with the movie--the Eagle on the rock and a few historical referrances, but overall it was very good as long as I could suspend my… read full review »

When I heard there was going to be a sequel to "National Treasure", I was excited and a bit skeptical.  It is rare that I enjoy the sequel  to any movie.  I was, however, pleasantly surprised.  "Book of Secrets" was every bit as action-packed as the first movie...even more so.  Though I found it a bit far-fetched, it was fun and entertaining.  That's what I like in a… read full review »

A great buy not as good as the first movie but great.  This movie is for everyone i've seen the first about 10 times and its great to have something new.  And at times this movie has scenes that seem to be out of a James Bond movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also this has quite a bit of hilarious parts.  Actors were outstanding especially Nicholas Cage as… read full review »

The movie was great! Great as a follow up and at the end leaves you with the impresstion that there will be a third one. Some of the movie was a bit far fetched, like how did Gates(Cages Character) know everything? Some things were better than the first and some were better in the first movie. It wasn't bad overall. A little predictable, but… read full review »

WOW!  I loved this movie.  It was over before I knew it.  Took my kids aged 13, 16, 19 and they all loved it too.  Lots of action.  Clever plot lines to follow - there's no getting up and going to the bathroom or buying popcorn during this movie!  Congrats to cast and directors for creating a dynamic… read full review »

Good story, good ideas, but not as good as the first movie. The characters work well with each other and there was good humor in the movie. I would have preferred a little more mystery like the first one, but it still had a lot of it. You can tell they put a lot of detail in the scenes like the queens office and the oval office. — … read full review »
