Ok first off Book of secrets is a bad idea for the subtitle seeing as this movie is barely about the book. It should have been called City of Gold since that's what the entire movie is based around. Fans of the first one will love this continue on the lives of Ben, Abigail and Riley as they search for the lost city of gold. Along the way there are more puzzles for them to solve and lots more intense heart pounding action. Ed Harris is on board this time around as the rival treasure hunter. Also a great inside joke in this movie is how Harvey Keitel says "What is Mr. Gates after this time Atlantis?" This of course a reference to the original plot of the movie being him going after the lost city of Atlantis. The movie is great, not as good as the original but still a great sequel. I give it an 8.5 out of 10.

That is your opinion. I am among the millions of other people who liked this movie. I love mystery and treasure hunting movies and this is both.

Politics is like driving. To go backward, put it in R. To go forward, put it in D.
