National Treasure: Book of Secrets

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

Safe fun entertainment where people don’t get killed, just cars and so forth.

The thrills and chills are little less potent, the jokes a bit too cute, and Ed Harris’ character is a little ambiguous by the end as if Harris is getting a little tired of the stereotype he has played in movie after movie.

There is some drama, though perhaps not enough and the funny comedy doesn’t always seem to balance the adventure aspect.

Overall, though the movie was enjoyable, fun, a thrill ride if not completely transporting into the Indiana Jones realm.

Boring it was not, but a bit manipulative, not as edgy, not as dramatic as it could have been.

When a missing page from the diary of John Wilkes Booth surfaces, Ben’s great-great grandfather is suddenly implicated as a key conspirator in Abraham Lincoln’s death.

Determined to prove his ancestor’s innocence, Ben follows an international chain of clues that takes him on a chase from Paris to London and ultimately back to America.

Yes this film has had the Hollywood touch added to it.

The book is funny & sad & romantic.

All the funny characters had been left out of the movie and the funny parts of the book they kept were watered down.

The movie rambles on and the true love between Holly & Gerry is never expressed on screen.

If you want to enjoy the story - read the book, the film was disapointing.
