Granny shouldn’t even be allowed to say his name, let alone watch him next to you in a theater. Come on, you can’t take grandma to see Dewey Cox.
#National treasure book of secrets movie
Maybe not quite as much fun, but it’s still a good movie going bet, especially if you’re looking for something to haul the whole family to in this holiday season. If you liked National Treasure, you’re going to have fun with Book of Secrets. So, with Gates true opponent being a bunch of clues, Harris ends up with more complexity than the average bad guy and his character, while ultimately forgettable, at least isn’t predictable. Ed Harris’ plays Ben Gates’ opposition, but the movie’s strength comes more from pitting Gates against the historical clues he must uncover than in pitting him against any human baddie.
National Treasure 2’s script deserves special credit, for giving us a bad guy who’s more than just some sniveling billionaire out for riches. You can’t go wrong setting your movie’s finale on Mt. That’s alright, I was content to sit back and watch all the national monuments on display fly by. Following along with Ben Gates as he leaps from one clue to the next becomes almost an impossible task by the movie’s end, and at some point you’re forced to simply throw up your hands and let whatever happens happen. Clues fly by fast and furiously, sometimes too fast to really get any sort of hold on what’s going on. Director John Turtletaub, perhaps in an effort to follow the built in necessity for a sequel to be bigger and flashier than the original, amps the film up further than it ought to go. If there’s a problem with Book of Secrets, it’s that the whole thing has gotten too caffeinated. To prove his ancestor an innocent patriot, Ben sets out to uncover the real meaning of the diary page, which he believes is the first clue in a treasure map. When a missing page from Lincoln assassinator John Wilkes Booth’s diary is discovered, Ben Gate’s great great grandfather is accused of being the mastermind behind the Lincoln assassination. Luckily, the route to doing that is paved with bricks of long lost bullion. In this second film, our heroic history treasure hunter is out primarily to clear his family’s name. As always, it’s about more than simply finding gold for Ben Gates (Nic Cage).
