When Ben Gates', (Nicolas Cage), great grandfather's name is besmirched by some cryptic evidence, he takes along the whole gang to help him restore it--his ex-wife, his blundering geek and his feuding, divorced parents. But, hey? Who doesn't love Justin Bartha as our beloved geek? (Riley Poole). Yep, ol' Riley certainly did a good job, and Diane Krudger as the ex was played well. But despite my poking fun at this film, I certainly did enjoy it.
As the second part to the first, "National Treasure" movie, I found Book of Secrets to be much more believable with the clues that they find than the first one was. I mean, the chances of someone playing with their desk drawers is a lot less than no one noticing a brick with a insignia on it.
All of these clues, wonderfully and conveniently placed, all lead up to the lost...whoops, almost spilled something there. Nope, you're just going to have to watch the movie for yourself to see what they find at the end.
This movie is a great one to take the older kids to, (as they'll be more inclined to appreciate the historical sites and items), and any history-buff will be sure to like it. It also, I am happy to report, has a sweet car chase scene complete with explosions, screaming people running away from screeching vehicles, and a bad guy you love to hate...until...
I give this film the O.A.M.R of three and a half stars
