National Treasure: Book of Secrets - Kenji - 12-22-2007
Today I saw "National Treasure: Book of Secrets" in a theatre, and I enjoyed it. It was better than first one IMHO.
Why I enjoyed it? Well, Nicolas Cage was Nicolas Cage as usual. Diane Kruger was very nice woman, but that's all.
Ed Harris played bad guy. He's great actor and he can play any characters. But he played bad guy before. So nothing new.
Bruce Greenwood played The President. But he played The President in Thirteen Days before.
Helen Mirren! She was awesome! Recently she played Queen many times, but this time she was adventurer. She climbed rock and dived into the water! Amazing woman...
If you like first movie, I'm sure you'll enjoy this sequel. Especially, if you like conspiracy by governments, you'll get into this movie.
Before I see this movie, I saw this trailer and I'm looking forward to this!

Back in the day she was in a film called Excalibur. She was pretty amazing in that one as well.

I agree. I don't think Helen Mirren could make a wrong move. She's outstanding in everything. She plays waaaaaay against type in SHADOWBOXER, which is a quirky, dark and very different movie for her. I liked SHADOWBOXER a lot.

Nope, that was my whole point. She flashed it around something fierce in that movie.

I liked it. Good, fun, old-fashioned (if technologically modern) adventure movie.

I saw "National Treasure: Book of Secrets" a few days ago and forgot that I did. This is a movie that made no impact. Yes, it's enjoyable fluff, we know the good guys will prevail so they can go on to make another sequel. There are the predictable predicaments, and Nicholas Cage's character can solve any puzzle, anywhere, anytime. But, who cares? Oh well, they got my money, and I guess that's the point.

I took the phews to 2 different films over their winter break. They didn't like NT, it was too long, drawn out, boring. Also took them to Aliens VS Predator and got lucky when the projector broke halfway through. None of us minded a bit.
