Movie Reviews of National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets [Blu-ray]

Movie Review: book of secrets on blu ray is superb and must have for any movie buff or fan!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

I just got National Treasure Boof of Secrets on Blu-Ray yesterday and am just blown away at the bonus features. Disney is just blowing the competition away with its stellar bonus features especially the ones exclusive to blu ray. i also have HD-DVD and have to admit the bonus features are becoming better on blu ray. There is a feature called Book of History:The Fact and Ficton oF National Treasure: Book of Secrets. Its part trivia game part factoid and parrt documentary. Its a game while the movie is playing but the presentation is just phenomenal. The movie is framed and there are four icons that you select when highlighted. You click on it and either a factoid a fact or fiction trivia question and its keeps track of your score and whats amazing is that if you have a great score you unlock bonus footage not seen anywhere else which is a clip of nicolas cage at the lincoln monument. Also when you click sometimes appear photo presentaion with audio commentary.
Just amazing. I stayed up til nearly 3 am playing the game and watching the movie.
Here is a list of bonus features on blu ray

I admit I love Nicolas Cage and he is great
I was reading here that Harrison Ford would have been great
But it might be too close to the indy films
they are both treasure hunters
but it would have been great either way
but i am glad nic cage was the lead

anyhow
if you have a blu ray player
dont waste your time with the standard dvd realease
get the blu ray edition
it will blow you away

it seems that when hd dvd became obsolete
blu ray has really stepped up
but disney has gone above and beyond the call

Summary of National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets [Blu-ray]

Ben Gates (Nicolas Cage) sets out to find the lost 18 pages from the diary of Abraham Lincoln's assassin, John Wilkes Booth. One of the 18 missing pages has been discovered by Jeb Wilkinson (Ed Harris). On that page are the names of the Lincoln assassination conspirators. Thomas Gates, Ben Gates' great-great-grandfather, is listed on the page. After discovering this, Ben does not want Thomas Gates to be remembered "as a conspirator in the assassination of the man who brought this nation together." His quest to clear his family's name leads to unexpected twists and turns. Agent Sadusky (Harvey Keitel) tells Ben that a secret book has the information he needs. The president's "book of secrets" holds documents, for presidents' eyes only, of all the nations secrets; from the truth behind the JFK conspiracy, the missing minutes from the Watergate tapes, and Area 51. When Ben's request to see the book is denied, he says he must kidnap the president. Each clue leads him closer "to a discovery that the world isn't ready to believe."

Less engrossing than its 2004 predecessor National Treasure, Jon Turteltaub?s busy sequel National Treasure: Book of Secrets is nevertheless a colorful and witty adventure, another race against overwhelming odds for the answer to a historical riddle. Ben Gates (Nicolas Cage), the treasure hunter who feverishly sought, in the first film, the whereabouts of a war chest hidden by America?s forefathers, is now charged with protecting family honor. When a rival (Ed Harris) offers alleged proof that Gates? ancestor, Thomas Gates, was not a Civil War-era hero but a participant in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, Ben and his father (Jon Voight) and crew (Justin Bartha, Diane Kruger) hopscotch through Paris, London, Washington DC, and South Dakota to gather evidence refuting the claim. The film is most fun when the hunt, as in National Treasure, squeezes Ben into such impossible situations as examining twin desks in the queen?s chambers in Buckingham Palace and the White House?s Oval Office, or kidnapping an American president (Bruce Greenwood) for a few minutes of frank talk. Helen Mirren, the previous year's Oscar winner for Best Actress, wisely joins the cast of a likely hit film as Ben?s archaeologist mother, long-estranged from Voight?s character but as feisty as the rest of the family. Returning director Turteltaub takes excellent advantage of his colorful backdrops in European capitals and the always-eerie Mount Rushmore, and oversees some wildly imaginative sets for this dramedy?s feverish third act in an audacious and completely unexpected, legendary setting. If National Treasure: Book of Secrets doesn?t feel quite as crisp and unique as its predecessor, it is still ingenious and wry enough to laugh a bit at itself. --Tom Keogh
