| A overall GREAT movie |
The nation loved the first National Treasure, and adored this one. In my opinions, this one is 3 times better than the first. If you are looking for a all around great action and thriller movie, than this movie is for you. |

| Not So Treasured... |
A couple years ago, National Treasure had me with the conspiracy theories, clues that lead to more clues, creepy and very brittle underground architecture, and lots of treasure...
The best way to describe the sequel is like this:
National Treasure=National Treasure 2
"Book of Secrets" features more conspiracies, more clues that lead to more clues, and even more brittle sub-ground architecture... taking care not to stray too much from the first "Treasure." Not to say none of it is original, as there are plenty of surprises and funny jokes yet unused. However, the movie doesn't take any steps forward from it's predescessor. In fact, since we left Ben, Abigail and Riley, they all seem to have taken several steps backward.
"Secrets" is pretty much the first movie told a bit differently, with a couple different characters. Yet as you watch, you may feel that it seems vaguely familiar, like you saw it last time you popped "Treasure 1" into your DVD player.
If you liked the first NT, you will probably find Book of Secrets entertaining, maybe even memorable...for me, however, I would have liked to see them vary a little more from that old formula that made the first movie what it was.
2xNational Treasure doesn't neccasarily = twice as good... |
