Almost so good than the first one movie, but it is not for critics!!, is for people who go to the theaters to enjoy a good couple of hours!.

Well to me this film was FANTASTIC. I know this might be shocking because of what other people are saying but i think Nicolas Cage was a great actor in National treasure 1 and 2. I loved every part of the film.

I thought this was a great continuation of the first movie. They didn't make it obvious that they had discovered the first treasure... just the Ferrari. Great action and good puzzles. Must see!

Well, I thought it was good too, I have been seeing many, many over the top reviews on this film, and none of them I agree with, this movie was great yeah, one of the year's best, but they keep on saying its an unexpected masterpiece. Well, I thought it was good too, but the experience wasn't that meaningful and didn't inspire much of anything, it was normall, and seemed a bit low in standards, the acting wasn't that great, but the characters in this one get more involved with the situation, their getting more deep into problems they have to face. It makes this movie interesting and very cool. There are many bad spots of acting, especailly by NICOLAS CAGE, but becides all that, this movie easily deserves a 10. Its that simple, this is a masterpiece, I'm not joking, it truly is. It is very good. I was entertained, amused, and the locations are more exciting to look at, the camera work showed the importance of every location. I was impressed. All you got to do is call it the new Indiana Jones or one really, engaging, exciting movie.… Expand

a good fun movie, which flows along with wit and action and follows along with various mysteries with graceful answers.

I am surprised to find such venom in the other comments. Agreed that the first film was better (usually the case with sequels), however it was a solid effort. I think that those who are disappointed so much are frustrated wanna be critics.

I had read reviews by critics and moviegoers, and figured it would be a bomb. I've found Metacritic's average scores to be on the money in the past. Certainly not some of the stuff, or even most of the stuff of the two National Treasure movies is real, so going to a movie like this then complaining about how it seemed unbelievable is self defeating. Understand that beliefs of reality must be suspended somewhat prior to seeing a movie like this, then enter or don't. That said, I found this movie quite entertaining. It had suspense, adventure, and comedy. It was even thrilling at times. The audience actually clapped after the show so I know I'm not alone on this one. I enjoyed it thoroughly.… Expand

6.5/10. Great popcorn movie. It's fun, fast paced and entertaining. It mixes adventure, humor and mystery very well. The acting is fine, well photographed and edited. It's not meant to be deep and significant. Just sit back and have fun.

National Treasure: Book of Secrets in a nutshell:::: Ben Gates searching for another Gates-family treasure, although as always, the clues are lead through an easily understandable plot. This is definitely worth a 10/10, I will be laughing National Treasure: Book of Secrets in a nutshell:::: Ben Gates searching for another Gates-family treasure, although as always, the clues are lead through an easily understandable plot. This is definitely worth a 10/10, I will be laughing once the critics start reviewing this movie because they apparently dreadfully hated National Treasure (the originol). "Why would I make this up?" This movie is one my favourites, and actually is an inch better than the first. New cool looking historical concepts, not as over the top Social studies boring stuff like the first. This is more technical, and there are bigger and more motive fun script-loads of crime happening this time around. The acting was okay, I would rate this movie a 9, but I love it so much. Nicolas cage, his lines and part of focuss in this script is very weak, his acting is not so good. He did well in the first one, but after watching this, all he is a frustration, I don't like him as much, and the humor is a little darker, but there isn't much of a mystery to it, its basically all intense action, and a pretty intelligent adventure. It has the same ideal as the first, one of Ben's aquiattances turn against him and searches for the treasure himself. Not as many bullets are flying around, but not much of a family movie as well, there is a bit of I don't know's in their, when you just don't know, because you thought it shouldn't have been done that way. But involving bigger secrets, interesting stories, and fun adventure going from place to place, this is a more risk-taking leap across American history.… Expand

Nicolas Cage and Justin Bartha were great! Helen Mirren and Jon Voight were delightful as the feuding exes. Helen Mirren is such a fantastic actress! She shines in a small, supporting role.

Another winner in the series, Book of Secrets is even better than the first film. It has more suspense and more action, and is very fun and entertaining to watch. I hope they make a 3rd.

My first impression of the film is that it didn't have the same excitement as the first film, and I thought the vibe was too different. It was too tough to get around, and with Helen Mirren in the movie, I thought it was a bad sign.

The first time I had seen the movie since opening day was earlier this week on Encore. My opinion on this had been a lot better than the first time. I knew there was going to be no way it would be better than the first, so I wasn't expecting much. It actually was just as good as the first. I first thought the direction it was going didn't seem to be good, but I had to trust the film with the plot. It didn't really push any of my buttons and didn't become a dud of a sequel unlike TRANSFORMERS 2!… Expand
