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: 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 Stills from National Treasure: Book of Secrets (click for larger image)

 I Just Love This Movie October 11, 2008
Like the title says, I just love this movie. Usually sequels are terrible--and Disney is known for that. But National Treasure: Book of Secrets is amazing. I love the history, the action, the suspense, the humour, and the fact that you don't need to see the first one to understand this one. I have seen the first movie, and it makes it more fun to watch number two, but it's not necessary: National Treasure 2 is an awesome movie all on its own, but makes a wonderful sequel as well.
The bonus features are amazing too. There are a lot of them, but many of them are on the shorter side. I find that disappointing, because I want more! They're definitely getting me to research things I hadn't known about before. And I'm itching to visit the Library of Congress: All of those wonderful, original documents;--it's breathtaking.
I have one question, which I hope they answer with a National Treasure 3: What's on page 47?
Good October 10, 2008
It is a great film. Thw rhythm of this film is very compact. It made me feel excited. The main character, Nicolas Cage, is a famous actor and his performance in this film is very good. The plot of the film is quite similar to a book which i have seen, "The Da Vinci Code". They both mentioned the "The Priory of Sion", the Knights Templars, so I think the idea is from that book. If i was the adventurer, I will not own the whole treasure but I will leave a small part for myself. The large amount I will give to the government for social services. I think it was not safe for me if I am so rich. Before I go to get the treasure, I will also think more about the danger I will meet and it's worth to go or not?
Great Movies September 29, 2008
My family loved both these movies - The blu-ray versions look great on the big screen and the acting and the storyline keeps you on the edge of your seat. Several times I had to remind myself to breath! The price form Amazon was better than I found elsewhere and the quality of the DVD is excellent. I would recommend this package deal to everyone.
 A poor mans Indiana Jones, really September 25, 2008
It's hard to believe that Nick Cage's toupee stayed on during all the water, wind and corn that was flying around in this "movie". Good for children 5 and under. Strictly by the numbers "adventure" flick, don't bother.
National Treasure 1 September 19, 2008
Quality of the Blu Ray on NT one is not very good. It is the same as a normal DVD. National Treasure 2 has great quality. Both movies are great entertainment
