Less engrossing than its 2004 predecessor National Treasure, Jon Turteltaub's busy sequel National Treasure: Book of Secrets is nevertheless a colorful and witty adventure, another race against overwhelming odds for the answer to a historical riddle. Ben Gates (Nicolas Cage), the treasure hunter who feverishly sought, in the first film, the whereabouts of a war chest hidden by America's forefathers, is now charged with protecting family honor. When a rival (Ed Harris) offers alleged proof that Gates' ancestor, Thomas Gates, was not a Civil War-era hero but a participant in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, Ben and his father (Jon Voight) and crew (Justin Bartha, Diane Kruger) hopscotch through Paris, London, Washington DC, and South Dakota to gather evidence refuting the claim. The film is most fun when the hunt, as in National Treasure, squeezes Ben into such impossible situations as examining twin desks in the queen's chambers in Buckingham Palace and the White House's Oval Office, or kidnapping an American president (Bruce Greenwood) for a few minutes of frank talk. Helen Mirren, the previous year's Oscar winner for Best Actress, wisely joins the cast of a likely hit film as Ben's archaeologist mother, long-estranged from Voight's character but as feisty as the rest of the family. Returning director Turteltaub takes excellent advantage of his colorful backdrops in European capitals and the always-eerie Mount Rushmore, and oversees some wildly imaginative sets for this dramedy's feverish third act in an audacious and completely unexpected, legendary setting. If National Treasure: Bookof Secrets doesn't feel quite as crisp and unique as its predecessor, it is still ingenious and wry enough to laugh a bit at itself. --Tom Keogh

Rating:  - Umm ...Does Anyone Know How Finding The Treasure Would Clear The Gates Family Name?
I admit that watching the first NATIONAL TREASURE movie was a guilty pleasure, but here ends my enjoyment of anything National or Treasure. Sequels are tough to pull off (can anyone say "Indiana Jones 4?") and one has to wonder why Hollywood continues to pump them out even when the script fails on almost every level ...and such was the case with National Treasure 2.
If anyone can tell me how finding this new treasure helped solve the Gates family's problem related to their relatives' ... Read More
Rating:  - Truly a National Treasure
Is it as good as the original?No, but what sequel really is.Is it worthy of ownership.ABSOLUTELY!This movie has some good puzzles and action, and is quite good.It is just different enough from the original to be interesting.Highly recommended!
Rating: - Good, but not as good as the first.
Well, this movie was suspenseful and mysterious like the first one.It game the viewer a good historical listen.But it still wasn't quite as historical, mysterious and suspenseful as the first National Treasure.But over all I think it was a successful sequel, more successful then most sequels to films.+ about the only 2 sequels I can think of off the top of my head that were better then the first are "Lepricahn in the Hood", "American Pie 2", and "Rush Hour 2".
Rating:  - Suffers badly from sequel-itis
The first "National Treasure" was a romp, but this sequel tries a little too hard. Nicholas Cage repeats his role as the irrepressible treasure hunter, Benjamin Gates, with Jon Voight as his father. Ed Harris is the bad guy who changes character at the end (a Disney requirement, probably), and Harvey Keitel is pretty good as the FBI agent. Helen Mirren, unfortunately, is forgetable as Ben's mother. The plot has to do with the truth behind the Lincoln assassination (was Ben's ancestor a Booth co-conspirator?) ... Read More
Rating: - Very Entertaining.
I really enjoyed this sequel to National Treasure despite what some of the critics said.
