'National Treasure' A Cinematic Treasure

Rhonda and I just saw 'National Treasure: Book of Secrets'. It is currently the #1 movie in the nation. And, despite what the critics say, is a very good film. The critics slammed this movie, but it actually good, wholesome fun with no foul language and an entertaining plot. For some reason, critics only praise movies with corrupt values or perverse trash--anything with clean family entertainment is given a poor rating.

This storyline centers around the idea of a presidential 'book of secrets' that details major events in history, and gives the answers to the location of an ancient American Indian city of gold somewhere in the Black Hills. The storyline is as fast-paced as the first one, and goes from Washington, D.C. to Paris to London and back to North America.

I personally am really enjoying the 'National Treasure' franchise, and am excited at the possibility of a third film, which is hinted at in the last moments of 'Book of Secrets'. I like the resurged interest in American history (even though some fictional) and the idea of some conspiracies such as an ancient city of gold.

In summary, an awesome, wholesome film. B
