National Treasure - Book of Secrets (2007)

National Treasure - Book of Secrets offers very much the same amount of thrills and spills of the first movie - this time promising to solve the mystery of President Abraham Lincoln's assassination.

Unlike the Indiana Jones films which are set in exotic locales, National Treasure is as Americana as the Westerns of the '50s. Though the lead characters do go to France and England for clues, the location shots don't leave a strong impression that it was shot in Europe. The Book of Secrets follows quite closely to the themes from the movie (released in 2004).

National Treasure: Book of Secrets is flat-out an action adventure movie. However, younger kids probably won't go for the movie as the plot is not easy to follow and it does not have any cute characters to keep them engrossed.

Christian groups may find the glorification of the Freemasons (the super secretive cult group with a questionable past) as offensive.

National Treasure - Book of Secrets - Suitable for Young Children

National Treasure - Book of Secrets is rated for action violence and some scary images. Though this movie has quite a fair bit of stylized violence, the body count and bloody scenes are surprisingly low. But then, this is a Disney movie and the studio made an extra effort to make the movie family friendly by giving treasure hunter, Ben Gates' (Nicholas Cage) father (Oscar winner, Jon Voight) and mother (Oscar winner, Helen Mirren) a big part in the movie. A big plus for this movie is a line up of other big stars including Oscar nominees Ed Harris, and Harvey Keitel.


If you want a comedy / adventure with slick action, then National Treasure: Book of Secrets is the film for you.
