When I watched the first National Treasure movie starred by Nicolas Cage, all I could say was that’s a lot of treasure. The first movie was focused on “building” a name for the Gates family but the second movie - National Treasure: The Book of Secrets - is geared towards saving that name. I won’t go into much detail as I don’t want to spoil the surprise.
Ben Gates starred by Nicolas Cage gave a rather good performance and his sidekick Justin Bartha as Riley Poole was a perfect fit to the funny atmosphere that caught my attention and hooked me throughout the movie. Then there was Abigail Chase starred by Diane Kruger who added the ‘lovelife’ twist to the movie. This time, Ben’s father and mother are more involved in the treasure hunt as they do their best to save their family’s name.
The story line I believe is better than the first movie probably because it’s not just a mere treasure hunt and more of a family concern.
I give this movie a rating of 5 out of 5. Watch it. Bring the kids - it’s clean for them to watch.
