Good On It's Own Terms ...

Rating: Null/10 (20 December 2008)

I actually enjoyed this a bit more than the first movie. It was a little easier to follow and a bit more focused. The characters were also fun to watch, the action was well choreographed and the dialog was innocent and lighthearted.
The plot is simple: A missing page of John Wilkes Booth's diary is found. It implicates treasure hunter Ben Gates' ancestor of being the mastermind Abe Lincoln's assassination. When he sets out to analyze and disprove the document, his search leads him to seek out a lost city of gold... in the US.
The focus of this movie is on the fast-paced search for clues and answers. There's hardly a stray moment. As long as you're willing to accept a little fictional license, this movie can be enjoyed by just about everyone - it's worth checking out.
