Well. Mainly because I haven’t seen Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Indiana Jones, or Get Smart. These are all on my list, but between my 4 month old, the job search and doing a week of camp, I haven’t been to the theater in a long time. I have been watching a lot of rented movies since we don’t have cable anymore (long story).

So, back to National Treasure 2.

If I were to say I was disappointed, that would imply I had high expectations. I should probably lead with the fact that I don’t like Nicholas Cage. Somehow, he seems to land great roles in great films, but I’m not a fan. The writing was flat. The plot was predictable. The story was weird.

That being said. If you liked National Treasure, you probably like National Treasure 2. It was a fun way to waste 124 minutes.
