Movie: Ben Gates (Nicolas Cage), the treasure hunter from the first film in the series, must now defend his family’s honour by tracking down a secret book. A rival claims to have proof that Ben’s ancestor Thomas Gates was involved in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln at the time of the American Civil War.

Televisions.com thinks:

Not quite as thrilling as the previous film ("National Treasure"),
but nevertheless a lot of fun — and not just for adventure fans!

(9 out of 10 points)

SOUND QUALITY:
The music is well distributed across all of the speakers, and the subwoofer is barely ever quiet. Numerous effects support the on-screen action – what more could you want?

(9 out of 10 points)

BONUS MATERIAL:
All of the DVD’s extras also appear on the Blu-ray release: an audio commentary, deleted scenes, and a 50-minute ‘making of’. New additions: two deleted scenes and the featurette "Fact and Fiction of National Treasure". Mediocre.
