Family names: to
clear their family name Benjamin Franklin "Ben" Gates [Nicolas Cage,]
the returning characters with more of a role from his father Patrick Henry
Gates [Jon Volght] with the additions of Benjamin's mother Dr. Emily
Appleton-Gates [Helen Mirren] and Mitchell "Mitch" Wilkinson [Ed
Harris] who throws shade on the Gates family name with proof what he is saying
has truth to it.
The pacing is worse than it is
predecessor National Treasure 2004 if you want to know my thoughts on it here
is the Link https://averagemansreviews2017.blogspot.com/2022/06/national-treasure-2004-by.html and I know the previous
projects generally speaking is good, it just runs out of steam. But this sequel
is roughly speaking 124 minutes long, but 6 minutes shorter. I know it isn't
much, but generally this film the opening section is slow, followed by a middle
section or around here has a get up and go to it, followed by back into this
slow film, even though in fairness and balance from beginning to end of this
film there is lots happening.
The action, comedy and art are
good; like generally speaking we have Benjamin, Dr. Abigail Chase [Diane
Kruger,] and Riley Poole [Riley Poole] on the run from Mitchell and his
henchmen/hench-people so it turns into a car chase so when Benjamin quickly
reverses this car [using this reversing system; located in the front but off to
one side, there is this camera located on the outside in the middle of the
boot, but lower down] the all these dogs
quickly move out the way well minus one, there is this young very cute dog that
since there and licks the camera to say hi and there is another comical moment
in this chasing sequence watch out for alcohol barrel. I really did like this
puzzle as it relates to The Resolute Desks, I won't give too much away, the
mechanics of them is excellently worked out and elegant as well. We also have
an illuminating sequence which is a positive like its predecessor and as it
relates to other puzzles and scenery and their constructions these are also
positives. But they also tried to recreate this one moment where Riley has got
one over Benjamin, Abigail and this time Patrick; with this time his new book
" The Templar Treasure and Other Myths that are True" with no one
reading this book, but this time around it fell flat on its face.
The character developments and
performances; the character developments and performances are safe and
reliable, you know they are good, there is much I can say about them really
other than once again FBI Special Agent Peter Sadusky [Harvey Keitel] is class,
but his character spend less time in this film so this is not a good thing.
This film receives: 5/10, this film is mixed; I mean after taking
everything into consideration this mark is the outcome. This film has awards
accredited to its name and they are not all positive but not anything to do
with this film, just to cover my back I work under the theory of they are here
so they count. 1 Winner Yoga Awards 2008 Yoga Award Worst Foreign Actor Nicolas
