Not bad

Rating: 6/10 (26 September 2008)

.......But could have been better. National Treasure Book of Secrets is an average action adventure film starring Nic Cage. Yes it is trying (but not succeeding) to be and feel like an Indiana Jones films. Sure the adventure aspects there but thats all when compared to the classics. Yes Nic Cage is off again in search for the book of secrets. An historic book only viewed by the Presidants of the United States. But when Ben Gates's (Cage) great great grandfathers name appears as one of the assassins who killed Abraham Lincoln. Determined to prove his ancestors innocence Ben and his followers embark on a quest to find the book of secrets.
With it's mediocre story and some half created characters Book of Secret tries but lacks in depth and fullness of a good film. Cage eagerly plays his character but at times slips up into some boredom and irrelevance, especially humour.
