National Treasure Book of Secrets Review

I went to the movie house with my jowa on Saturday to see the movie "National Treasure Book of Secrets", starring Nicholas Cage and John Voight... (both men are great actors to me).

When I saw the first National Treasure, it kinda reminded me of Indiana Jones, but in the suburbs! (by the way I enjoyed the Indiana Jones trilogy, Steven Spielberg is an awesome Director!).. I love action packed movies, especially adventure but I dont care for horror and gore though.

Nicholas Cage plays a treasure hunter as he did in the first National treasure but this time he has some additional business aside from treasure hunting, he has to clear his granddaddy's name because he was accused of being a conspirator in the assasination of Ole' Abraham Lincoln, wooooo! It has a slight spin to it now because it is a dose of conspiracy theory + History + Greed, a typical American movie, Oh yes and treasures too!!

I enjoyed the movie until Nicholas Cage came up with some outlandish plot to kidnap the President of the United States because he needed to get some secret info that the Prez had (Book of US Presidents). I thought it was so silly yet funny when Nicholas Cage was so arrogant as to dive in the water, swim ashore at a party the Prez was attending, and just pop-up and have a conversation with the Prez, who by the way never questioned Cage about how he got inside of the party National Treasure: Book of Secrets, did'nt make the cut this time to me.

What I love about this movie is the fact that it reveals some hidden truths about the country. I believe there are secret societies that really exist and they control the government. Another thing I like is, it is kid-friendly, and violence-free flick!

If you like lots of adventure, conspiracy, and treasure hunting, I guess you can overlook some of the flaws in this movie. . On a scale from 1-10, I would give it a 8... Oh yeah, if you never saw the first National Treasure I would suggest watching it. The first one is much better than the sequel!
