National Treasure: Book of Secrets

Rated PG

Starring Nicholas Cage, Jon Voight, Helen Mirren, Justin Bartha, Ed Harris

This sequel starts out with the assassination of Abe Lincoln in a flashback. Ben Gates and father surprised at a lecture when presented with a missing page from the diary of John Wilkes Booth listing their relative Thomas Gates as one of the consiprators of the Lincoln assassination. In their quest to save the family name and clear their ancestor, the Gates and Co, including Abigal and Riley, go on another global treasure hunt which sends them searching for clues in Paris, England, DC and the rumored President's Book of Secrets.

It had the same wit and cleverness as the original, as well as the same Indiana Jones type history adventure the original had also. This is probably going to be the main family Christmas movie this year. Expect a third installment in the future as well, as it clearly alludes that there will be another treasure hunt.
