The first half was boring. The second half was almost as good as the first film!

Rating: 7/10 (6 January 2008)

All together it was pretty good. Not as good as the first though.
In this new adventure, Benjamin's great great grandfathers name is on the list of conspirators responsible for the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Benjamin wants to clear his name, but finds the only way to do that is to look for the real answers in a book. The presidents book of secrets, for presidents eyes only. So his plan, kidnap the president.
This film has good acting, a good plot, and of course, some pretty good action.
Some of the action worthy of being in a Bourne film, etc.
And what I love about the national treasure films, is they have good humor, yet still keep it serious.
All though, of all that. The pacing was terrible! I thought the pacing of the first could not have been better. But in this the first hour(i timed it) literally has you thinking to yourself, what the heck is the point of this film. All though after about an hour, when the film picks up and gets good, it stays good.
The other down point, is some parts of the film, seem, just unrealistic. I didn't feel that in the first.
It had a great ending though. Just one thing i would have changed in the end.
Even though their are down points, its still a good, and if you liked the first film, the second half of this film is almost as good as the first film, not quite as good though. my point is though, if you liked national treasure, GO SEE IT!
Hope that helps!
