Good Movie for Kids and Early Teens

National Treasure 2 is a poor relative to Part 1. Nothing about this film is original or even realistic. Actually much of the movie is so goofy that one wonders if this movie was even meant for adults. For example, how do these people find clues and secrets every 2 minutes?. How do these people trash half of London with reckless driving without getting arrested or injured? (See the Bourne series for realistic examples of high speed auto chases) The whole stereotype of profound hidden messages in the Bible, the constitution, under the desk, the dollar bill, the uber geek who can hack though anything (while we get to see a nice Flash presentation) is all getting old. As also are the Hollywood depictions of lost native American and South American civilizations with amazing depictions if ingenious engineering in structures they left behind. But the movie is still good to keep kids occupied. July 20, 2008

National Treasure 2

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). July 19, 2008

Great sequel to the first National Treasure!!

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. July 18, 2008

As good as the first, with it's own twists

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. July 17, 2008
