She Said:
The first National Treasure was awesome-excitement, comedy, action and of course historical references. The second film, Book of Secrets has it all as well. Being a sequel, it isn't up to par with the original. However it does allow more time to focus on the characters and give them more comedy time (the character of Riley has a bigger part than just the techie). Also the addition of Helen Mirren AND Ed Harris makes it a fun watch. Nicolas Cage probably gave a half-ass performance, but he's been mailing in his performances for awhile now.
I would see this in the theater with a big tub of popcorn with a date OR family. Plus, HE will probably buy it DVD when it comes out to go along with the first one we have.
I certainly can watch this again!
HE Said:
I LOVED the first National Treasure. As SHE mentioned I own it on DVD. It's a classic according to my tastes. I love the adventure and conspiracy theories surrounding our nations past. I could watch the first over and over again. When I first heard about the sequel I was pumped. I knew it couldn't live up to the original but let's face it, rarely does a sequel live up to the original. That said, I enjoyed seeing Book of Secrets. i laughed a lot, enjoyed another adventure ride with all the clue gathering and deciphering and eventually uncovering the final mystery. Sweeet! I enjoyed the movie and would recommend seeing it. Can't wait to see it again on DVD.
