Amazon.com: Less engrossing than its 2004 predecessor National Treasure, Jon Turteltaub’s busy sequel National Treasure: Book of Secrets is nevertheless a colorful 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 honor. 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. 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: 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

Rating: - Great Movies
My family loved both these movies - The blu-ray versions look great on the big screen and the acting and the storyline keeps you on the edge of your seat. Several times I had to remind myself to breath! The price form Amazon was better than I found elsewhere and the quality of the DVD is excellent. I would recommend this package deal to everyone.
Rating: - A poor mans Indiana Jones, really
It's hard to believe that Nick Cage's toupee stayed on during all the water, wind and corn that was flying around in this "movie". Good for children 5 and under. Strictly by the numbers "adventure" flick, don't bother.
Rating: - National Treasure 1
Quality of the Blu Ray on NT one is not very good. It is the same as a normal DVD. National Treasure 2 has great quality. Both movies are great entertainment
Rating: - National Treasure: Book of Secrets
Movie moves at good pace, typical of a Bruckheimer film, but storyline too much like first movie.
Helen Miren was great addition to cast.
Rating: - An exceptional sequel
National Treasure 2 kept me on the edge of my seat just as the first one had done. I loved the suspense, the humor the fanciful yet plausible twist on history - altogether an exceptionally entertaining show. I was sorry when it was over. What can they possibly come up with for the next one?
