Dies und das:

Release prints were delivered to theaters with the fake title 'Cinnamon'.

Pannen:

Fehler, die von Charakteren gemacht werden (möglicherweise Absicht der Filmemacher): When Ben first finds the wooden board containing "pre-columbian" writing, he remarks that "These markings look Incan or Aztec." In fact the Inca never developed a formal writing system.

Dialogzitate:

Riley Poole: It's a little, golden man.

Decent film

National Treasure: Book of Secrets is a decent film. Nothing more, nothing less. I came out of the theater content, and yet by the next hour I'd forgotten much of what had taken place. Such is the case for most films now, however.

Compared to the first film, the plot is weak (certainly not as tightly drawn as the former) but the energy is the same and the humor is the same, and overall it's still as watchable as the first. Helen Mirren and Ed Harris were also very good, and somewhat surprising, additions to the cast.

Essentially, the movie is on the ridiculous/unbelievable side, but it's worth a watch. I don't think I'd pay another 10 dollars to see it again in theaters, but waiting for a rental will do.
