I bought the Canon SD1100 primarily to shoot images for online auctions and craft store listings. This meant small glass images shot at close range, indoors using natural light. I've been delighted with the Digital Macro setting, which rendered these hard-to-shoot images in very good quality (see sa

Product Description:

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

Good, but not as good as the first.
7/6/2008
Well, this movie was suspenseful and mysterious like the first one. It game the viewer a good historical listen. But it still wasn't quite as historical, mysterious and suspenseful as the first National Treasure. But over all I think it was a successful sequel, more successful then most sequels to films. + about the only 2 sequels I can think of off the top of my head that were better then the first are "Lepricahn in the Hood", "American Pie 2", and "Rush Hour 2".

Suffers badly from sequel-itis
7/5/2008
The first "National Treasure" was a romp, but this sequel tries a little too hard. Nicholas Cage repeats his role as the irrepressible treasure hunter, Benjamin Gates, with Jon Voight as his father. Ed Harris is the bad guy who changes character at the end (a Disney requirement, probably), and Harvey Keitel is pretty good as the FBI agent. Helen Mirren, unfortunately, is forgetable as Ben's mother. The plot has to do with the truth behind the Lincoln assassination (was Ben's ancestor a Booth co-conspirator?) and the search for the golden city of Cibola. The key to it all is "the President's secret book," handed down from each chief executive to the next, and containing the truth of various historical mysteries. Even for this sort of Indiana Jones-ish adventure, it's all rather absurd.

Just when I thought we'd get a GOOD sequel, (Why did I even think that??), out comes another, "been there, done that..." This is just too predictable.
No detail like the first movie provided so well. Characters... no development... just chases, impossible situations and burns.... I could go on and on... I'd been more content just enjoying the first movie...and never knowing how poor the second one is.........

I thought it was quite boring as it was so similar to the first one in plot and development.
