National Treasure: Book of Secrets really is a "treasure" of a film

Disney scores again with "National Treasure: Book of Secrets". The first movie was a crowd-pleaser and box office success and I know that the same success the first one had will continue with the sequel.

The truth is, you know these movies are great. These movies have the perfect amount of drama, romance, adventure, action, and mystery. Who would've thought that Disney knew how to make a good movie anymore?

The Story: Nicolas Cage is back along with the humorous Justin Bartha and Diane Kruger, and this time, instead of looking for a treasure that Ben has been trying to find his whole life, he has to find a treasure to prove his great-grandfather's innocence. Mitch Wilkinson, played by the amazing Ed Harris, comes forth with a missing diary page from John Wilkes Booth's diary stating that Thomas Gates was the main architect of the assassination of President Lincoln. Ben Gates disagrees with Mitch's claim, saying that his great-grandfather was trying to decipher a puzzle for a treasure that Booth wanted to find. Regardless, unless Ben deciphers the puzzle and finds the treasure that his great-grandfather never found, the Gates' family name will forever be looked down upon.

The film does everything you want it to, it entertains its audience. The acting is superb across the board like always, and the script is very well-written. It contains enough twists and turns to keep the audience happy, and it keeps the plot going at a very good pace.

Once you give into your willing suspension of disbelief, and once you accept the fact that all of these clues and the "book" actually exists, you're in for a great, entertaining film. Invite your family, invite your friends, invite anyone. "National Treasure: Book of Secrets" is a film worth seeing.

I give "National Treasure: Book of Secrets" 2 1/2 stars out of 5.
