![National Treasure 2 - Book Of Secrets [DVD]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81MsnmijnGL.jpg)

Product Description Ben Gates (Nicolas Cage) sets out to find the lost 18 pages from the diary of Abraham Lincoln's assassin, John Wilkes Booth. One of the 18 missing pages has been discovered by Jeb Wilkinson (Ed Harris) which contains the names of the assassination conspirators. After discovering his grandfathers name is on the missing page, Ben sets out to clear his family's name on an adventure that leads to the President's "Book Of Secrets" and a secret the world isnt ready to believe. desertcart.co.uk Review Less engrossing than its 2004 predecessor National Treasure, Jon Turteltaubs busy sequel National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets is nevertheless a colourful and witty adventure, another race against overwhelming odds for the answer to a historical riddle. Ben Gates (Nicolas Cage), the treasure hunter who feverishly sought, in the first film, the whereabouts of a war chest hidden by Americas forefathers, is now charged with protecting family honour. When a rival (Ed Harris) offers alleged proof that Gates ancestor, Thomas Gates, was not a Civil War-era hero but a participant in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, Ben and his father (Jon Voight) and crew (Justin Bartha, Diane Kruger) hopscotch through Paris, London, Washington DC, and South Dakota to gather evidence refuting the claim. The film is most fun when the hunt, as in National Treasure, squeezes Ben into such impossible situations as examining twin desks in the queens chambers in Buckingham Palace and the White Houses Oval Office, or kidnapping an American president (Bruce Greenwood) for a few minutes of frank talk. Helen Mirren, the previous year's Oscar winner for Best Actress, wisely joins the cast of a likely hit film as Bens archaeologist mother, long-estranged from Voights character but as feisty as the rest of the family. Returning director Turteltaub takes excellent advantage of his colorful backdrops in European capitals and the always-eerie Mount Rushmore, and oversees some wildly imaginative sets for this dramedys feverish third act in an audacious and completely unexpected, legendary setting. If National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets doesnt feel quite as crisp and unique as its predecessor, it is still ingenious and wry enough to laugh a bit at itself. --Tom Keogh Review: Great - Great film Review: FABULOUS.................... - I saw this one in the cinema, my first visit there in years, and I did not regret it. I loved the original, but I think the sequal was if anything better. It is a rip-roaring adventure with a fabulous cast. Nicolas Cage is a greatly underrated actor but personally he can do no wrong for me. It is non-stop action from start to finish and there is plenty humour thrown in. It is a real treat for the whole family. DON'T MISS IT!

Good Fun. I would have liked more tales of this type." Indiana Jones style treasure hunting" is a fun genre. The world is a big place so plenty of room and oppourtunity for more such tales.

Excellent Sequel
This is a very good movie and typical Hollywood, having had a success with the first, following the same format for the sequel. This has all the elements which made the first one great so no one should be disappointed - not even the English who are horribly and wonderfully caricatured by Cage in the scene set inside Buck House.

Not as good as the first instalment...
I absolutely loved the first National Treasure and was really looking forward to watching this. However, by the end of the film, whilst I felt I felt I'd enjoyed and got my money's worth, I couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed that it wasn't as great as the first one. Personally I felt that the plot was less clever than the last and the characters lacked the energy of the first. What I will say is it does offer some absolutely great scenes and you can't help but be amused at some of the poor acting in others. An OK film and I personally hope that whatever is on pg. 47 is better than this one. A good effort but not as good as the first.

No logro entenderlo. En el anuncio pone que está en español y no es verdad. Cuando lo recibí la primera vez hice queja precisamente mencioándolo y me lo volvieron a mandar exactamente igual. No consigo entender que pretenden que haga yo con 2 dvd iguales sólo en inglés. Deberían cambiar la publicidad de la película si no disponen de la versión dicha. Estoy bastante disgustada.
