National Treasure: Book of Secrets
Justin ChangThere is an actual book of secrets buried in National Treasure: Book of Secrets, and it's not nearly as musty as the script. Graced with some extra star wattage courtesy of Helen Mirren and Ed Harris, this diminishing-returns sequel sends Nicolas Cage on another quest to strike it rich, get young auds excited about history and solve puzzles that are generally less stimulating than yesterday's Sudoku. The 2004 original grossed a surprising $347 million worldwide; with little change to the formula and even more marketing muscle, Disney and producer Jerry Bruckheimer should see their B.O. and homevid coffers flooded anew.
The first National Treasure was not without its charms -- namely, an endearingly geeky obsession with clues and codes and a polite ave...
The gold appears to be fake...
The first National Treasure film was a reasonably fun sub-Indiana Jones romp. It far outshone the lacklustre efforts of the Tomb Raider flicks, and had a decent set of puzzles and clues which strung together well. Sadly, this second outing is none of the above! The plot seems more like an excuse for the crew to go on holiday at some nice locations in Europe and US, rather than a logical progression on the trail to find the lost city of gold. Right from the offset the film shows contempt for the intelligence of the audience by having a clue refer to something which wasn't actually in existence until 10 years later. That is only the start of the gaping plot-holes in the film....it gets worse, but let's not dwell. Now I could accept a weak plot in a work of fantasy fiction if t...
Rubbish
Extremely disapointing. Not having seen the first one, I wasn't sure what to expect, but it is a waste of money. The one star comes from a vaguely interesting opening, but the rest of the film is dull, unimaginative and boring. The story story is that apparently Nicholas Cage's great great granddaddy was a conspirator in the plot to asainate Lincoln. In order to prove his innocence, they have to find a city of gold, which, surprisingly enough, they do. However, the film is entirely realistic. Not only is there an ancient city made entirely of gold, the gang manage to get into Buckingham Palce with whisky and hi-tech hacking gear, then chase around outside shooting at each other, while the police twiddle their thumbs, and of course sneak into the presidents office. However, p...
National Treasure: Book of Secrets
Kevin Crust When a formulaic movie rakes in nearly $350 million worldwide, why mess with celebrity, eh?
President regisseur Jerry Bruckheimer, director Jon Turteltaub and screenwriters Cormac and Marianne Wibberley essentially clone the surprisingly lucrative 2004 action-jeopardize Patriotic Treasure to generate the sequel, National Treasure: Regulations of Secrets. Star Nicolas Cage returns as the "treasure protecting" Benjamin Franklin Gates, positioned as a contemporary Indiana Jones turn to account-dancing his equivalent to through a cornucopia of U.S. narrative, parable and Scandinavian Edda and a podgy dose of plot theory. Also back are love persuade Diane Kruger, comic foil Justin Bartha, impartial-until-things-get-interesting FBI cuff Harvey Keitel and...
National Treasure: Book of Secrets
Claudia PuigAn eye to those who their history lessons light and airy and infused with a generic coherence of activity, there's National Treasure: Book of Secrets. This movie and its 2004 antecedent, National Apple of one's eye, offer nothing challenging or stimulating (and may play indecorous and loose with documented accuracy), but they provide audiences with a feeling that they be struck by learned a thing or two. Whether they eat or not is unsubstantial. What these movies really are hither is a kind of retro escapism, a family-fit incident saga that just wants to support, not break the ice new ground. Auteur Jerry Bruckheimer, who seems to have the Midas approach in a multitude of venues, has cleverly hit on a hit instructions: Noachian-fashioned enterta...
