Although the first instalment in this now tiresome franchise was at best entertaining, this near ridiculous sequel doesn"t do it justice. The plot follows Nicholas Cage and crew from historical location to historical location, with short, garbled explanations as to what they are doing there. Each scene has a bizarre element to it, ranging from unlawfully entering Buckingham Palace to kidnapping the President of the United States.
The only feature that keeps this film afloat is its terrific cast, including a grouchy John Voight and a self-assured Helen Mirren. It"s a pity the clunky plot and nonsensical script didn"t give them better material to work with. If you leave your cerebral attachment to reality behind before viewing, you may get a glimmer of enjoyment out of this, but for me it fails to impress.
Overlong, intentionally inaccurate movie seemingly constructed to obfuscate Masonic involvement in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. 'National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets' boasts an impressive cast, but falters and bores with a flat, wholly unconvincing narrative about Cage's ancestor, who's falsely implicated in Lincoln's murder ('evidenced' in recently discovered pages from John Wilkes Booth's dairy). In spite of being a Nic Cage fan, I gave 'National Treasure' a wide berth back in 2004, and though this glossy sequel may fare better with fans of the original, I can't for the life of me understand how such a listless premise gets green-lit in a post 'Indiana Jones' post 'The Mummy' post 'Tomb Raider' world. Nicholas Cage is back as archaeologist adventurer Benjamin Franklin Gates, alleged real life Freemason John Voight returns as his father, Ed Harris resentfully grinds his way through a thankless bad guy role whilst professional gluttons for punishment Diane Kruger (who hasn't managed to capitalise on her performance as Helen in 'Troy'), Justin Bartha (best known as despised retard Brian from 'Gigli') and Harvey 'where's-Tarantino-when-I-need-him?' Keitel all reprise their roles. Joining them is our own Helen Mirren, slumming it as Gate's mother in a forced and mostly unfunny role. The plot, which actually isn't half bad were it not an overt assault on historical facts, rightly damns Queen Victoria's 'British Empire' as part of an insidious conspiracy to prolong the American civil war. But would they dare mention Rothschild? Of course not, especially since some of their benefactors own a stake in 'Disney' which released this picture. For its common knowledge that Presidents Garfield, Lincoln and Kennedy were assassinated by the global elite, for trying to free their nation from the tyranny of Rothschild / Masonic usury (i.e. interest based inequities of the Templar banking system): Clan Rothschild were also financing both sides the civil war, hence President Garfield was killed by an Illuminati old boy for attempting to broker a peace deal with Confederate leaders to end the conflict. Lincoln spoke out against usury and outlawed the lucrative business of slave trading, thus was promptly murdered by Rothschild patsy John Wilkes Booth, Jack Kennedy suffered the same fate: after an impassioned speech about purging America of neo-pagan secret societies e.g. Masons, Zionists, CIA, Knights Templar, Com 300, Bilderberger and their Rothschild / Lurian Cabbalist handlers (collectively dubbed 'The New World Order'). JFK's speech, delivered before the 'American Newspaper Publisher's Association' on April 27th 1961 (seven months before his assassination) is still suppressed and rarely discussed by mainstream historians or paid off, pro-cultist, corporate media shills.
Much of 'NT2's' plot revolves around the discovery of the fabled book of secrets; a presidential handbook that, as its title denotes, contains secrets for U.S. presidents. And maybe its not-so mysterious page 47 is like one of those juvenile high school book gags, you remember; when some bright spark writes 'Go to Page 21', which you do, only to discover he/she's inscribed another command: 'Go to page 15', promptly followed, 'Go To Page 9' and so on until you're inexorably drawn to a page which conclusively declares that you are, indeed: a c***, and anyone who pays to see another 'National Treasure' sequel will, no doubt, fall into the aforementioned category. Now John Tutletaub made a pretty decent film about 12 years ago with John Travolta called 'Phenomenon', though his directorial output since then has been anything but, and yet not even a great cast or initially intriguing storyline can compensate for a story that loses momentum from the get go, if only because most people know its a fraud, and subjects as serious as individual freedom / humanity's struggle to establish a just society were never meant to be placed into the hands of Hollywood hacks and the criminal corporations those dead presidents tried to bring down. 'NT2' is somewhat of a low point for all involved whilst Nicholas Cage can, should and hopefully will move on: Fool's gold, best left ashore.
