National Treasure: Book of Secrets

So yeah I saw this movie, I saw the first one as well. I can't be mad at the movie, becuase shame on me for wanting anything from this movie or franchise. I guess I am a little frustrated that I saw this instead of Charlie Wilson's War, but at the time I had no idea that was movies was going to get some much love and I didn't think I would be as dissappointed in this movie as I was.

I really don't want to give a synopsis of what this movies was about becuase honestly I don't really want to expend the effort and in truth it doesn't really matter. National Treasure: Book of Secrets is less about the story and more about the outrageous escapes and puzzles throughout the movie, same as the original. I guess I was a little more lenient with the first movie becuase it was sort of new, but this movie made no effort to do anything different. Nick Cage and Justin Bartha are an amusing duo, but no terribly funny. There were a bunch of heavy weight actors, Voight, Harris, Keitel, even Helen Mirren shows up, but in the end it just wasn't enogh to save this movie from itself.

I wish I could suggest this movie as a fun pop corn flic that you can watch and turn your brain off, but honestly you will be bored 40mins in and your brain will actually fight you back. I guess if you catch in on capable you can put it in on in the background.
