Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: When the Booth diary page is shown during the Civil War era scene at the beginning of the film, the names are written on the left page with the cipher information on the right. Later, when pulled out of the fire, only the bottom of the page is burned. However, when the page is presented during the speech at the Civilian Heroes ceremony, the entire right side of the page is burned. Also, when they match the page to the diary, Patrick Gates says that the section after Thomas Gates' name is burned off. However, when matched to the diary, the edges of the page are no longer burned. more

The secret's out: the formula still works with "National Treasure" sequel, 25 December 2007
7/10
Author: Movie_Muse_Reviews from IL, USA

The follow up to the 2004 box office surprise "National Treasure" is everything you'd expect. Thank goodness. It should come as no surprise that the conspiracy-based code-cracking mystery adventure is still just as hot as it was in the "year of "The Da Vinci Code."" There is nothing new, nothing special or unexpected about "Book of Secrets" only Ed Harris replacing Sean Bean as the rival treasure seeker. That, and the addition of Helen Mirren as Nicholas Cage's mother to strengthen the film's female roles thanks to leading lady Diane Kruger's utter mediocrity.

The film has all the same history mystery you remember, the national (and now international) landmarks, the witty inserts from Justin Bartha's character Riley, and of course the preposterous plans for Benjamin Franklin Gates to get whatever he's after. In other words, if you're looking for something different, more clever, or intellectually stimulating, read the Da Vinci Code again and don't bother with this film. If you want more quirky, ridiculous, treasure-seeking fun that picks up right where the last left off, this is your ticket. ~Steven C
