Say, does anyone spell check? "Fast pass"? maybe he/she meant "fast paced". Oh well, to thte review: This version of National Treasure is not as good as tjhe first movie, but then again, it's hard for the sequel to a block-buster to out-do the original. The original cast returns, with Ed Harris capably providing the criminal/evil opponent this time around. Conspiracy theroists will love the whole idea of "The Book of Secrets", a tome passed down from US Presidents to their successors. The whole concept of a hidden city of gold in the Black Hills is a bit far fetched - especially since the people that built it apparently did so while it was under water... Expect the usual car-chase scene, as well as the usual "creepy-old-staircase-to-the tresasue. Saw this on Christmas Day. Comments from the group included, "It seemed to drag a bit now and then". All in all, not a bad movie. I wonder how many more acnient treasure the film-makers can dredge up from history?
