The first National Treasure film was great, in my opinion. It had a unique and interesting story, the effects weren’t bad, and it blended some historical factoids into the story unobtrusively. I don’t think it deserved the relatively low ratings it got in places like RottenTomatoes.com.

The sequel, Book of Secrets, wasn’t too bad for a sequel, but it didn’t quite live up to the first film. It featured some of its predecessor’s elements, but it lacked the innovation of the original.

Book of Secrets was funny, and worth seeing if you liked the first movie, but it was a little disappointing. Mind you, it wasn’t bad as far as sequels go (e.g. Pirates of the Caribbean II), but it just wasn’t quite as good as the first movie.

The humor was good, and I liked the “President’s Book” (I won’t spoil it for you though). Overall the movie was enjoyable, but I liked the original better.
