National Treasure: Book of Secrets (2007)


Ok, it's overly better than National Treasure. Ok, it's even better in the details than National Treasure.
But, you know something - deep down inside lurks the sound of the same old song. And pleeeease don't feed me with the usual "movies are all about entertainment not politics, religion or philosophy" stuff. Even pure and unconditional entertainment is a policy of its own. You know it. I know it. There's no secret in this action-boogie-bookie. Only artistically venomous pages.
Another "National Trashure" as far as I'm concerned.

P.S. Especially in this one, I would have preferred Freddy Kruger to Diane Kruger: he is less cold, more lethal action oriented and certainly succeeds better in motivating you to stay awake – at all costs – till the end of the film!
