national treasure 2

We went to see National Treasure 2 this afternoon. I give it about a 2 1/2 out of 5. At one point I got totally lost and couldn’t follow the storyline. I still don’t understand how finding the treasure will clear Benjamin Gates’s ancestral good name.

It’s not one I’ll go see again at the theater. Even though seeing a movie twice in the theater is not really unusual for me, National Treasure 2 didin’t rate high enough on my personal movie scale to pay movie theater prices to see it again. That’s a bummer for me, since I’m quite crazy about my little hometown movie theater’s fresh popcorn and frozen Coke (yes De’Etta, I agree a big bag of M&Ms really completes the movie theater snack pack ;) ).

    Hi Trish,

    I just rented Nationa Treasure from Blockbuster this afternoon. My friend was in disbelief when I told her we’d never seen it…and she said it was okay for the entire family, so we’re making pizza and hoping to settle down and watch it later!

    I’ll just rent the second one when it comes out since you only gave it a 2.5. LOL!

    We loved both the National Treasure movies. I know they are both unrealistic ;-) LOL but we are always thankful when a clean family movie hits the theaters . . .we love the popcorn and Coke too ;-)
    Happy New year! I am so behind in reading blogs so today I am catching up on yours! Blessings! Emily SHS

    oh my!!!!!

    I LOVED THIS 9and the previous one) MOVIE!

    The Gates name was tarnished when Ed Harris’ character came forward with a piece of a notebook that had the great great (great?) grandfather’s name on it that “SUPPOSEDLY” linked him as a conspirator in Abe Lincoln’s assassination.

    As you know how the movie ends, I won’t rattle that off here, but you know that the name was cleared and it was all a ploy anyway.

    Unrealistic movie, yes, but i was thrilled the characters from the first movie were in the second… that the storyline continued in America (instead of going abroad) and it was actually a continuation of the first (instead of just some random period of time.) Nice to see further into the Gates’ history and character relationships develop more.

    LOVED IT! But then again, I was a HUGE HUGE fan of Indiana Jones movies and to me, the National Treasure movies ring of those, only stateside!
