A sequel to National Treasure sees treasure hunter Benjamin Franklin Gates (Nicolas Cage) seeking to discover the truth behind the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, by uncovering the mystery within the 18 pages missing from assassin John Wilkes Booth's diary. The escapades lead to Washington, London, Paris, Mount Rushmore and other secret locations in which clues to the vast conspiracy can be discovered.

I won't lie to you, National Treasure: Book of Secrets isn't worth seeing and I'm just not in the mood for making excuses. It’s bland, unexciting, uninvolving; really just a copy of the original, which was a copy of the Da Vinci Code, which was a copy of some other book which there was a lawsuit about.

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...

It contains all the elements from the original film...But that's the problem: It's virtually the same movie with new locations. Oh, plus Helen Mirren. Not a bad addition, but the popcorn fun is gone...

The movie has terrific if completely unbelievable special effects. The actors had fun, I guess. You might, too, if you like goofiness like this...

Those who do not learn from history action films are doomed to repeat them, apparently.

Sadly, while National Treasure 2 was both unchallenging and mindless, the entertainment component was completely lacking...
