I am seeing this in 2 and a half hours.

I am pretty excited. The first one is fun as hell.

Wow, you're getting a really early screening of it NotSo. Let us know how it is. I really liked the first one too, am looking forward to this one.

I got a test screening to the first one too. I just assumed the franchise was too big to do another one for the second one. But I guess not.

Ugh, Nicholas Cage.

The first one was really forgettable, with not too many stand out scenes. Oh, and it contains one of the most aggravating sidekicks.

It's like the same movie as the first one. Not in a bad way though. It's a lot of fun still. Still dumb, but tons of fun.

Like the first one is alright. That's about what I expected.

Sonny... I didn't know there was anyone who hated National Treasure!

The first National Treasure was fun, much better then the DaVinci Code drivel. But it was at least a half hour, if not 45 minutes, too long. Pop-corn films like this really shouldn't stay much longer over the 90 minute mark.

Thats about the one big change i'd want to see with NT2, otherwise this is one of the few worthwhile sequels thats going.

To me it felt a lot like watching someone play a favorite video game of yours. I was seeing Nicholas Cage and company run around to all these locations solving puzzles to get closer to some unbelievable historic treasure, but it was all just completely boring. It made me want to grab a ticket and go to these spots I've always wanted to visit, just like one would grab a ride to the nearest mall to pick up that video game he/she were watching. But it sure didn't make me want to see National Treasure again or even for them to create a sequel.

I also feel Sean Bean will be sorely missed in this one.

First one was a blast, can't wait for this. And I liked the sidekick.

Yeah, I had a great time with the first one, can't wait to see this. I wish I'd seen the first in theaters. Checked IMDb, looks like no Sean Bean... However Ed Harris and Harvey Keitel are in it, which is even better

Sean Bean's character got arrested in the first one, at the end. It would just be kind of lame to bring his character back as a main villain at least.

Ed Harris and Harvey Keitel? HELL YEAH!!

Its all about solving those puzzles and riddles which lead to the treasure. Great suspenseful and most character roles were great. 3/5

As one who values history, I tried really hard to hate it, but I enjoyed it in spite of myself and couldn't keep from wondering what "page 47" was going to be about in NT3. 6/10

I'm surprised more of you guys haven't seen this.

We may be the only place on earth where more people have seen Sweeney Todd and Walk Hard than National Treasure.

That's just how Cinema Blend rolls.
