Well, I finally got the chance to go see National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets recently. It's been out nearly a month and I've only recently managed to find the opportunity to go see it. I think life is way too busy when it takes four weeks to find two hours of relaxation. But I digress.
I really enjoyed this movie. If you enjoyed the original National Treasure you should definitely see this movie. It's even a movie that I'd recommend paying $9 for a theatre seat. Just like the original, Ben Gates, Riley Toole and Abigail Chase are hunting down treasure. Only this time they're joined by Ben's parents, Patrick and Emily, as the trio seeks to exonerate Ben's ancestor who has recently been accussed of masterminding the Lincoln assassination.
As one would expect, there are more than a few similiarities between the original and the sequel, but it doesn't detract from what is at its core an entertaining movie for the whole family that doesn't stoop to debauchery, foul language or gore for its laughs. There are Indiana Jones-esque scenes that capture younger audiences as well as high-brow humor for history and policital buffs. Simply put - there's something for everyone.
