We watched this movie yesterday afternoon after breakfast at Specialty Inn and shopping in town. This 2nd installment of National Treasure was still filled with excitement and humour, not unlike the first, but it was slightly less entertaining i think. there are less riddles to solve here, and Benjamin Franklin Gates ( Nicholas Cage) got away too easily from the FBI at each step of the way. The baddie isn't a mercenary British man this time, it's a man who wanted to leave a mark on history by discovering the legendary City of Gold. The car chase in London was pretty alright, the banter with french policemen near the Statue of Liberty in Paris was cute but it was the ancient trap inside the City of Gold that is awesome. Trust the movie people to think of such a majestic trap - a 2-d square piece balanced in the middle. perhaps the 2 movies were too much alike, following the same formula of heroism, honour and adventure. it was entertaining, but still a little disappointing for me, just for the fact that it didn't improve from the first film.All in all, it's a good production and definitely deserves to be watched. I'll give it an 8/10. If you are thinking of what movie to watch this new year's day, how about National Treasure?
