The plot is illogical to the core, which one would have accepted had the film been a sheer roller-coaster ride, leaving you little time to notice the holes in the plot. Go to Full Review Tim Grierson Screen International 07/23/2008
The derivative National Treasure: Book of Secrets is a smooth, lightweight action film for undemanding audiences. Go to Full Review Kimberley Jones Austin Chronicle 02/01/2008

Less twisty than its 2004 predecessor and yet somehow more incoherent, National Treasure: Book of Secrets plays like a duplicate schematic of the first. Go to Full Review Danielle Solzman Solzy at the Movies Jul 4
