National Treasure: Book of Secrets

By Sandor Hugert

This movie was really just one of those typical sequels where Disney saw that the first National Treasure was a hit, so they really just redid the first one with a new treasure and hoped for the same success.  The movie itself really wasn’t bad, but Disney also made the mistake of making the sequel so much like the original that there really weren’t any cool new ideas in the movie so it was just boring overall.  The storyline was cool since you did get to see the treasure and overall it kept the movie interesting as they were searching for all the clues.  Nicolas Cage still did a great job as the main character.  There were some cool scenes in the movie though which made it better, but really Disney just redid everything that worked in the first movie and then made a sequel.  The ending basically gives away that there will be another sequel so hopefully that will actually have some new ideas in it.

Score:  6 out of 10
