Release date: Monday 2nd of June 2008
Starring: Diane Kruger, Nicolas Cage, Jon Voight, Harvey Keitel, Helen Mirren, £17.99 The film is most fun when the hunt, as in National Treasure, squeezes Ben into such impossible situations as examining twin desks in the queen’s chambers in Buckingham Palace and the White House’s Oval Office, or kidnapping an American president (Bruce Greenwood) for a few minutes of frank talk. Helen Mirren, the previous year's Oscar winner for Best Actress, wisely joins the cast of a likely hit film as Ben’s archaeologist mother, long-estranged from Voight’s character but as feisty as the rest of the family. Returning director Turteltaub takes excellent advantage of his colorful backdrops in European capitals and the always-eerie Mount Rushmore, and oversees some wildly imaginative sets for this dramedy’s feverish third act in an audacious and completely unexpected, legendary setting. If National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets doesn’t feel quite as crisp and unique as its predecessor, it is still ingenious and wry enough to laugh a bit at itself. --Tom Keogh

Amazon.co.uk Review
Less engrossing than its 2004 predecessor National Treasure, Jon Turteltaub’s busy sequel National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets is nevertheless a colourful and witty adventure, another race against overwhelming odds for the answer to a historical riddle. Ben Gates (Nicolas Cage), the treasure hunter who feverishly sought, in the first film, the whereabouts of a war chest hidden by America’s forefathers, is now charged with protecting family honour. When a rival (Ed Harris) offers alleged proof that Gates’ ancestor, Thomas Gates, was not a Civil War-era hero but a participant in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, Ben and his father (Jon Voight) and crew (Justin Bartha, Diane Kruger) hopscotch through Paris, London, Washington DC, and South Dakota to gather evidence refuting the claim.
Not as good as the first instalment...

I absolutely loved the first National Treasure and was really looking forward to watching this. However, by the end of the film, whilst I felt I felt I'd enjoyed and got my money's worth, I couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed that it wasn't as great as the first one. Personally I felt that the plot was less clever than the last and the characters lacked the energy of the first. What I will say is it does offer some absolutely great scenes and you can't help but be amused at some of the poor acting in others. An OK film and I personally hope that whatever is on pg. 47 is better than this one. A good effort but not as good as the first.

Both these movies are very good indeed, i personally thought the second film was slightly better. loved the american history lessons thrown in with the indiana jones style puzzle solving. When these films first came out i wasn't sold by the idea of them, but decided to buy them recently and i am so glad i did, i watched them back to back. Can't wait for National Treasure 3!

I have always loved the Indiana Jones movies and these have a similar feel. Good acting, interesting story, discovery and exploration, just enough comedy and a bit of history thrown in. Technically these are probably the best versions you can get. Great Audio and Video quality. Excellent package and great value. Works great on an Australian PS3.

I love these two films as they are good family entertainment with no bad language to speak of or violence, but all the adventure of an action film. Plus Nicolas Cage is always good.National Treasure/National Treasure 2 - Book Of Secrets [DVD] [2004]
