History spliced with Fiction...a nice bit of entertainment

Rating: 8/10 (12 September 2008)

Great fun film.
It's a great story which blends history with myth and legend and there is some great action scenes. As with the first one, there is a "bad guy" (the ever excellent Ed Harris) hot on the heels of Cage and Co. as they race to find a hidden treasure.
There is a heavy amount of improbability, but one must push this to the side and believe the legend. Those of a skeptical disposition might not enjoy it.
The whole cast is strong and entertaining and I would say that it is definitely worth watching. It's like a lighter DaVinci Code.
....I actually watched this immediately after the first National Treasure (having enjoyed it so much) and found this sequel just as good.
