Daft but fun

Rating: 7/10 (17 November 2009)

I liked this sequel. I do need to re watch the predecessor, but from my memory I remember the first film being a tad better. National Treasure:Book of Secrets does have its problems, primarily the daft and sometimes contrived plot, the sometimes weak script(despite three or four hilarious scenes) and the climax does take a tad too long. Despite all this, the film is still a lot of fun, thanks to some awesome chase scenes, the great special effects and the fun performances of Nicolas Cage, Helen Mirren and Jon Voight. Plus there are some funny jokes and scenes, and the music is brilliant. And the clues are nice and complex. I will say me and my whole family liked this film, we all felt it is daft and silly but for a family film it does have a sense of fun.
Overall, don't expect a masterpiece. Expect a fun film, that is daft too. That way, you will enjoy National Treasure:Book of Secrets. 7/10 Bethany Cox
