(1 - 36) of 36 OFCS Rating: 31% Rotten Page   1   "Mirren and Voight provide much of the fun here as their characters argue about who's responsible for their divorce and longtime estrangement."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker 2/5 "nothing more than a series of ADD driven vignettes held together by the flimsiest of plots, helmed by the dude who made 3 Ninjas."   Filmcritic.com   Bill Gibron D+ "Helen Mirren provides adequate distraction from Justin Bartha's insufferable ad-libs. Yep, he's still comedy poison. Three years hasn't changed that."   eFilmCritic.com   Brian Orndorf "It's never a good sign when you can figure out a movie's secret plot before the characters involved."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 3/5 "Pile on enough action set pieces (which genuinely thrill) and comic relief (which genuinely tickle), and let's all giggle together at the whole mess."   eFilmCritic.com   David Cornelius 3/4 "A slight improvement over its agreeable forebearer..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 2/4 "National Treasure: Book of Secrets has the same director as National Treasure, the same writers, and nearly all of the same lead actors. This is no surprise, since it is basically the same movie."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman C "You wonder how anyone involved could possibly have thought what they were doing was coherent."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider D "A clearinghouse for Things You Wouldn't Expect to See A-List Actors Say With a Straight Face."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov C- "Monumentally silly...But viewers looking for the dumbest sort of escapism are likely to be satisfied."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 1/5 "An action adventure flick that careens from one preposterous plot development to another."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 1.5/4 "Is it possible to enjoy Book of Secrets? Obviously, although its lunacy requires a level of suspension of disbelief that some will be incapable of attaining."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 5/10 "Click here to read review"   Kinoblog.com   Jaroslav Vishtaljuk 5/10 "Little seems to be designed to make a lasting impression, though the movie may achieve its modest goal of providing mild fun."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 4/10 "I just couldn't get past the preposterous material, behavior and developments, no matter how hard I tried to suspend my apparently ample disbelief"   Screen It!   Jim Judy 1/4 "Almost unconscionably lousy sequel to 2004's equally bad Dan Brown rip-off is only made worse by its staggering waste of talent."   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito "There's sounder logic and more genuine sleuthing in a 'Scooby Doo' cartoon."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   John P. McCarthy 1.5/5 "%u03AC%u03BC%u03C5%u03B1%u03BB%u03B1, %u03C0%u03C1%u03BF%u03C7%u03B5%u03B9%u03C1%u03BF%u03C3%u03C4%u03B7%u03BC%u03AD%u03BD%u03B1 %u03B4%u03B5%u03AF%u03B3%u03BC%u03B1%u03C4%u03B1 %u03B1%u03BA%u03AF%u03BD%u03B4%u03C5%u03BD%u03B7%u03C2 %u03B4%u03C1%u03AC%u03"   Movies for the Masses   Joseph Proimakis 2.5/4.0 "In a story even more far fetched than the last one, Nic Cage and company prove that enjoyable characters can make up for a lot of bad plot."   MovieCrypt.com   Kevin A. Ranson 4/5 "They say that time heals all wounds. Well, apparently it heals mediocre movies as well."   Film School Rejects   Kevin Carr C "...dumb popcorn fun that dishes out more of the same for those too overwhelmed by the holiday to seek more challenging fare."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 2/4 "Familiarity doesn't breed contempt here, but it's so familiar as to keep us from getting caught up in the scavenger hunt this time around."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik C+ "Practically a duplicate of the breezy (and bloated) original, National Treasure: Book of Secrets is not without charm, but it lacks the thrill seeker's joy of discovery."   Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema   Mark Pfeiffer "It's not like the Indiana Jones movies were exactly deep and impenetrable: so why do we need Indiana Jones for Dummies?"   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 2.5/4 "I'd stop well short of calling it a cinematic treasure, but it's better than the first one, and that's worth at least a few gold doubloons in my book."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan B- "A nice confidence and easy energy, three Oscar winners happily chewing every piece of scenery in sight, and one great action sequence with four characters trying to maintain the balance of a swaying platform."   Beliefnet   Nell Minow 1.5/4 "Since Book of Secrets doesn't take its faux-intricate story seriously, there's no reason this review should either."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 3/5 "Uma diversão esquecível; algo que você consome, digere e elimina sem conseguir se lembrar posteriormente do que passou por sua garganta."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 3/5 "Keeps us entertained with the sheer spectacle of the thing, rather than anything actually interesting."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline C "Even sillier and less entertaining than the first film in this series."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten "It's like doing a puzzle a second time. It's familiar, it's redundant and it's rarely exciting."   Movie Views   Ryan Cracknell 2/5 "More than content to simply toss the same exact formula into the microwave and deliver its lukewarm cinematic leftovers to an always-hungry audience."   Cinematical   Scott Weinberg 7/10 "Continuing the whodunit/where-is-it/what-does-it-mean formula, it's a fun-filled romp, chock-full-of-historical trivia."   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger 6/10 "A little sillier than the original, and a little stupider, and somehow it still manages to be shockingly enjoyable."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton 2/4 "The gimmicks have worn off and the performances have gone stale in this uninspired sequel to a surprisingly fun adventure film."   Oscar Guy   Wesley Lovell 4/10 Read review   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo  (1 - 36) of 36 OFCS Rating: 31% Rotten Page   1
