Movie Review: National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets
National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets provides little more than a threadbare plot and inane, meaningless, "ho-hum" non-stop action. Nicky Cage has returned to reprise his role in a movie (which like its predecessor) is pretty much a ripoff of Indiana Jones and The Da Vinci Code. The plot is so pathetic that it hardly deserves mention. Cage and Cage's dad (Jon Voight) must prove that their great grandfather was not in league with President Lincoln's assassin as alleged by a good 'ol southern boy, Ed Harris, and some halfway burned up piece of paper. Though it doesn't really make sense, Cage and Voight decide they must find a legendary "City of Gold" that the now-ignominious grandfather supposedly died trying to protect from Confederate spies. Yet, finding the City of Gold doesn't prove any such thing, the grandfather still could have been in league with the South... but hey, look over there... an explosion! Summary: Absolutely preposterous; almost insultingly so.
