Less engrossing than its 2004 predecessor National Treasure, Jon Turteltaub’s busy sequel National Treasure: Book of Secrets is nevertheless a colourful 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 honour. 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 colourful 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: Book of 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

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as the first but still entertaining, 5 Aug 2008
By KM (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)      
In `National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets' Nicholas Cage and his bad haircut/wig returns as Ben Gates in the follow-up to the excellent 2004 film. He has been kicked out of his girlfriend, Abigail's (Diane Kruger) house and he has also just found out that his great grandfather is on the list of names associated with the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. With the help of Abigail and his side-kick Riley (Justin Bartha), Ben attempts to clear his family's name by using his deciphering skills to follow the clues to find the legendary City of Gold.

The first National Treasure was a surprisingly excellent adventure film that was well up there in the ranks with Indiana Jones and The Da Vinci Code, but the follow-up wasn't so great. Although there are still some amazing action sequences including an impressive car (and lorry) chase through the busy city streets of Central London (on a day where the police must have all been off work!) and an attempt at kidnapping the president of the United States, it really failed with the characters this time round as they were all extremely un-likeable and nowhere near as funny as in the first one. Kruger's character was just so stuck-up and irritating where as Helen Mirren's character of Ben's mum was just completely pointless and felt out of place. Ed Harris' character however was very good as the bad guy, Mitch who I did tend to hate the whole way through.

I'm not saying that I didn't enjoy this film as it was still very good, but it didn't have the feel-good sparks of the first one and the script wasn't as clever and the action wasn't as exciting.

The Blu Ray quality is again unbeatable proving that Disney really are the best when it comes to crisp, sharp images and sound.

Overall, if you've seen the original you'll probably like this, as I did, but I do warn you that you will feel underwhelmed. If you are new to the series I'd highly recommend watching the original first as it is miles better in all departments. If you can get this in the boxset with the original, this is well worth getting, otherwise I'd just give it a rent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than the first film, 15 Dec 2008
By D. J. Russell (Cambridge, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I don't think this film deserves all the bad reviews below. National Treasure 2 is pure escapism, it doesn't try to be anything else. The sequel is a great family film for kids and adults, (I'm 31 years old and I enjoyed it). Its pure Disney - adults having kids adventures. The picture and sound quality of the blu-ray disc is great. If you liked the first film, then the sequel is worth checking out!

5.0 out of 5 stars Not Indy but a worthy alternative, 9 Jun 2008
By A. Neilson (Scotland, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Rented this from Amazon last week and have to admit that I wasn't too disappointed with it. The movie itself is fun and entertaining, the blu-ray version produced great results too on my pannie plasma (via PS3)and the default audio option of TrueHD was again very crisp.

A great watch for the family or adventure seeker

Sound:5 stars
