I can't say the first one is one of my favorite movies, but I did like it and I look forward to this one. I dig movies like this and I thought the trailer looks good.
I can't help but compare these kind of movies to Indiana Jones. And in that respect they're truly depressing.Sahara, the Mummy, National Treasure and so on. What borefests. I don't think I at any point in any of these films felt a sense of real danger or dread. Or more importantly: Adventure.
The trailer for number 2 here looks even more boring. And ridiculous.
Now, I love history of conspiracy stories, but this is just without any spectaculars. And what's with the trailer trying to do a Da Vinci Code: "A secret that the world is not ready for..."?
There's a reason why Indiana Jones was initially set in the 30's. Because parts of the world was still unexplored at the time. There were still mysteries and myths, allowing the story to go anywhere and everywhere.
National Treasure is like a PG Indiana Jones in the cell-phone age.
Off-topic: How come Nicholas Cage does so many bland movies every year? He's like a hired gun. He'll play any part, even the ones he's direly miscast for.
"The Flux capacitor. It's what makes time travel possible."
Saw the trailer in the movie theater today. Quite frankly, I found the trailer annoying. Especially the part about the Presidential Book of Secrets.."oh, and Area 51 of course".
