It's like doing a puzzle a second time. It's familiar, it's redundant and it's rarely exciting.

If you can set aside the movie's countless flaws and just go to watch a stupid mindless movie, then you are good to go with this film.

Unfortunately, "National Treasure: Book of Secrets" falls under the category of been there, done that.

Absurd second installment in the Indiana Jones-for-idiots franchise...

Over-stimulating brain bubblegum guaranteed to take kids under ten straight to adrenaline heaven!

Too bad such a stellar combo cast had to get dumbed down for such inconsequential pandemonium.

Even sillier and less entertaining than the first film in this series.

If you desperately need to escape the house this holiday season, avoid this treasure and see something else.

Ultimately, Book of Secretsis an embarrassingly by-the-numbers rehash of the first National Treasure, lighter on the swirly, emotion-cuing music but still well-trafficked in ridiculous feats and worse dialogue.

The first installment was a moronic, overblown scavenger hunt masquerading as a high concept social studies lesson. The sequel is bigger, louder and, implausible as it is to believe, even more preposterous.

Keeps us entertained with the sheer spectacle of the thing, rather than anything actually interesting.

This movie isn't much different from the original "National Treasure."
