National Treasure: Book of Boredom

Rating: 4/10 (2 January 2008)

This movie pales horribly in comparison to the original. There were plenty of F/X throughout, but those couldn't hold the movie together alone. Dialog was forced, attempts at humor failed miserably (I recall a majority of the theater laughing twice), and I found myself looking forward to the end with more than an hour to go. A day's worth of reflection after going to the theater and there is nothing that compels me to change my review.
2 points worth mentioning. 1). For those who do enjoy the franchise, a vague arc is presented for a potential third installment. 2). The audience was treated to a 10-12 minute Goofy cartoon before the movie began. While pleasant and enjoyable enough, it wasn't worth the price of admission.
