Review of National Treasure: Book of Secrets (2007) by Roy F — 04 Jul 2012

National Treasure: Book of Secrets ratchets up the crazy by a factor of 10. This time Ben Gates is on a quest to find the lost City of Gold in order to prove that his great grandfather wasn't a conspirator in the Abraham Lincoln assassination.

Nicolas Cage, Diane Kruger, and Jon Voight return, and are joined by Ed Harris and Helen Mirren. Cage and Kruger easily slip back into their roles and recapture the magic that made their characters so fun in the first film.

However, this plot is just too convoluted to go with. There are a lot of fun moments, but the adventure's not as interesting or entertaining. The story is weak, but National Treasure: Book of Secrets manages to deliver a fun and solidly entertaining adventure.
