National Treasure II

Post by =^-..-^= »

Anyone seen this this?

It's really fun. If you liked the original, you'll like this one. The guy that plays Nicholas Cage's dad plays a bigger role, and he's a good actor. I like all the little history factoids put in there.

Okay, if my car sits idle for a week, it won't start; but all the century-old mechanisms in secret caves still work with a good push. If you can suspend disbelief about that part, you'll have fun with this movie . . . ;-)

I want to see this one. I liked the first one a lot. Now I just have to talk my husband in to taking me. :)

I love most all Nick Cage movies.

Heh...that would be Jon Voight...yeah he is 'pretty good'...;) Now see if this name rings a bell: Angelina Jolie Voight.

'and he's a good actor'...that was kinda funny...

Anyway...I loved the first one. I look forward to seeing this one soon. Might wait till it is on DVD though...

Couldn't get past 8 minutes of the first one. Raw sewage on film.

CWallace, thanks for bringing up the Voight thing. I was almost laughing when I read that. I think it was intentional sarcasm. :)

I will likely be watching this with the wife-unit.

It blatantly sets up a third.

I was an okay flick, some of the stuff that happens is to convenient, and unlikely. It was sort long, at was to much like the first one.

There is a huge treasure, they want to find it, some one else wants to finde it, they race for it, dirty tactics are used.

Eeee-yep. Nothing but cynical Hollywood rebaking - "hey, can't we do, like, another DaVinci Code kinda thing?" - with the unmistakable stench of Jerry Bruckheimer all over it. Drivel of the worst kind: it's embarrassing to watch once-promising actor Nicholas Cage pay the Malibu rent in slabs of rotting meat like this and The Wicker Man. Only hiring Joel Schumacher to direct could make things worse.

"The DaVinci Code" publish date: March 18, 2003.

C'mon, you don't think these hacks came up with that whole "Chain of Puzzles" thing by themselves. It could not be a more obvious rip. Bruckheimer couldn't get the rights fast enough to suit him and decided to rush his own "anagram rce for the prize" story to theaters.

For those of you that saw it, anything objectionable that a seven year old couldn't see it?

(I don't have a seven year old, but that's my normal gauge for my kids)
