National Treasure 2: A World History Joke

Continue watching the second installment in the National Treasure series.

The first film made a joke about American history, and the second made a bigger joke and turned into a world history joke. After watching this film, I realized that the text on the Statue of Liberty is a riddle, the Queen of England has an organ in her desk, and the President of the United States has a pamphlet passed down from generation to generation. Hollywood screenwriters are really imaginative.

The entire movie follows the style of the first film. He still made fun of various historical figures, and this time he even tried to kidnap the President of the United States. The elements of a treasure hunt are all available, including mysterious family heirlooms, hidden riddles, underground caves, and complex mechanisms. Of course, there are all the members of the expedition team in the previous episode, and a new member has been added - Mom.

This film is also as good as the first one, and there is not much difference between the two films. It was a successful commercial film. There are many successful elements in the previous film, but the tension of the whole film is not as strong as that of the previous film. But still thrilling and compact. While exploring the treasure hunt, I did not forget to add some jokes to adjust the mood of the film.

Diane Kruger in this episode is not as beautiful as the last one. You can see freckles on her face. It seems that the makeup artist and lighting in this episode are not as good as the last one. Even so, she is still radiant, a great beauty. Such a beauty, why is there no good film? Destined to be a vase? Other actors, perform due diligence, after all, it is a commercial film, and performance is secondary.

Overall, a successful sequel and a very good commercial. There are very few good films about adventure and treasure hunting, and this film can be regarded as a masterpiece.

    Riley Poole: So?

    Ben Gates: [continues] Yeah, like "so, I guess my opinion doesn't matter", "so, you seem to always know what's best", "SO, I guess I'm invisible" and now I've moved out, and we're dividing the furniture.
