Review of National Treasure: Book of Secrets (2007) by Imthenoob — 05 Sep 2021

Book of Secrets fixes a few issues that the first film while also creating a few of their own. I think the pacing is far better, the humor works, and the cast does a fine job. That being said, The entire final act is a bore that lasts for 30+ minutes when it could have been 20 at best. It just instantly kills all excitement that the movie while playing out in a predictable fashion.

And as much as I like Ed Harris, His villain is so bland and his character's motive made no sense. At least Sean Bean's villain (from the first movie) made sense with his story arc, Harris's villain was all over the place and had no consistency. It was a low point of the movie IMO.

All in all, It's tolerable but not as fun as the first movie.
