National Treasure / Book of Secrets : 4 of 5
12.21.2007 9:54 PM \| Link	The second movie my parents and I went to see during my holiday visit was this fun sequel to the original National Treasure, which I really enjoyed a few years ago, and I'm glad to say that I had just as much fun watching this new story! While I think the puzzles were a little cooler and more complex in the original film, I still really enjoyed following all the clues this time around. My favorite thing about these movies is that I end up learning some actual history, and within minutes I discovered there's more than one Statue of Liberty (which I never knew), as well as the history of the Resolute Desks (that I had never even heard of before!). Both of these movies are kind of like an Indiana Jones adventure taking place in modern cities, but after Nicolas Cage and his pals find their way into the secret caves at Mount Rushmore, the tone of the movie changes, but it's still really exciting and interesting. I thought the bad guy's motive was a little shaky, too, but it doesn't really matter, since once the story begins it keeps a nice momentum going. Overall, I think National Treasure is a nice series for Disney, since it maintains the spirit of adventure found in lots of early Disney live action films, as well as Walt's love for America and its history. The next movie has definitely been setup, so I'm looking forward to finding out about Page 47! Labels: movies
