National Treasure 2 - Book of Secrets (Two-Disc Collector's Edition) description
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 fi ... review details

♥♥♥♥♥ |
Enjoyable sequel , weak villian .
|
I really enjoyed this movie despite the poorly written villian part played by Ed Harris . First off the southern accent done by the New Jersey born Harris was awful , then when he teams up with Cage and company he tells him he framed his ancestor to get him to help find the lost city -which makes no sense since he tried to kill him in Europe to steal a clue before that . In the first movie there was no doubt that Ian the villian , despite teaming up with the heroes again , was going to off them after finding the treasure . The Wilkinson character is good , then bad , but only because he's trying to clear his family's good name . The writers tried to make him a sympathetic figure near the end , but after kidnapping , blackmail and attempted murder I can't imagine anyone having any sympathy at all for this character . Why can't Hollywood just let a villian be evil for evil's own sake these days ? They do the same thing with the spiderman movies - Goblin/Dr. Octopus/Sandman/Venom aren't really bad , but were driven to evil by 'insert reason here' .
Anyway getting by that there was much more good than bad in this sequel , especially the addition of Helen Mirren as the estranged wife of Patrick Gates . As in the first movie Ben Gates was clever to the point of a genius with a photographic memory , Riley was funny , especially amusing was every nutty conspiracy theory in his non-selling book seeming to be true having been bought (apparently the only copy sold) by fair minded FBI agent Sadusky , once again played by Harvey Keitel .The question asked of Ben Gates by the president near the end strongly hinted at a third installment . If there's a villian in that one , hopefully he'll be a straight up baddie motivated by greed and power and not a conflicted , convoluted mess of motivations . Despite that one flaw in this movie , I recommend it and will be going to the theater to see the next installment should there be one . |
