Close this post, if you must, I admit that all my posts seem to suck.

Well, I love both these movies. Quite a rarity a Disney non-Pixar sequel that I can tolerate is. Is there really a 3rd coming out, or is this a lie???

The first one is a guilty pleasure. The second one was a little lackluster. shrugs There is only so much Nick Cage I can take.

And yes, I do believe there is a third coming out.

Really! Oh my gosh! Where’d you hear this? Excuse me for sounding excited, but I can’t wait if this is true. Especially the way they ended the second cryptically with ‘Page 47’.

And yes, I’m a fan of Nic Cage. Guilty as charged. The hapless sidekick Riley is a favourite, too. And oh, that Diane Kruger… I’m in love. :stuck_out_tongue:

But besides attractive lead characters, it’s the interesting modern-day history that appeals to me. Not quite Indiana Jones-level, but heck of a lot more fun than the Dan Brown movies. And I just love the car-chases, they’re quite inventive.

The best part for me, though, is the soundtrack by Trevor Rabin, one of my favourite up-and-coming composers. Listen to The Chase and Page 47 as a sample.

I do prefer the first over the second, but they’re both above average action flicks (as I said, they’re not ‘one of the great classics’, but more like Cars in the sense it has a high ‘rewatchability’ factor, at least for me). :slight_smile:

I agree, Thedriveintheatre. I love them and would love a 3rd, which is why I asked. He’s one of my favorite actors, too, after Tom Hanks and Craig T. Nelson :slight_smile:

Oh yes, I loved these movies! Both of them! The second one I thought wasn’t as great as the first, but it didn’t completely blow like some other sequels I’ve seen. If there is a 3rd one coming out then I’m very excited to see it. :smiley:

I like your enthusiasm, mo!!

I am not afraid to admit that I thoroughly enjoyed these movies - the first one especially. They were fun and entertaining! And yes, I do believe that a 3rd one was recently confirmed (was it at WonderCon, I think?)

Nicolas Cage is a hero! Hahaha

He is the hero. :slight_smile:

Have you seen Kick-*ss? I can’t wait to watch Bad Lieutenant and Sorcerer’s Apprentice! :smiley:

Anyway if CoCoMeister’s rumour is true, I’m super-duper excited!

Well, I saw this interview today on Coming Soon: [url]Exclusive: Jon Turteltaub on National Treasure 3 so it must be true :slight_smile:

They work well together and they seem to have found a successful formula, so why not go for it? Also, from a lot of the interviews I’ve read (his Sorcerer’s co-stars Jay Baruchel and Toby Kebbel for example), it seems like everybody loves working with Nic Cage and says nothing but high praise for him. I mean, like, really high praise. That’s pretty cool.

You kidding me? I loved these films.
I don’t care what some people say about them, I still find them fun.
Ben and Riley and Abigail are an awesome team.
I like Ben and Abigail’s romance.
Riley is a very funny character.
I liked the villains they have.
I can’t wait for the third film.

Woodyfan23: I agree!!! I love both, and am certainly intrested by the 3rd. BTW, I love your avavar and sig :slight_smile:

Thanks and yah the third one should be intresting.
I heard rumors, the main villain of the first one would be returning.
I’d love it if that was the case. He was always my favorite villain, second one was cool too, but that guy was awesome, he was the oppisot of Ben Gates.
So yah, I do hope he returns. I also heard it’d be about what the last page was from the second film, I’m sure we can all agree we’ve all been curious what its been about :stuck_out_tongue: And thanks, I’m a big fan of Woody and JessiexWoody pairing.
Don’t laugh, I’m not alone on that :wink:

Oh, I don’t care. On that one thread I was kidding. I like her with Buzz, but other people’s preferences(as far as Toy Story is concerned) don’t bother me anymore. :slight_smile:

Only seen the first one but I like it. Need it get it on DVD one day.

It is good, huh? Hilarious.

Haven’t seen it in a while now. Last time I saw it was maybe last year or year before.

I actually haven’t seen it in a while myself.

Have you seen the sequel?

Even though there weren’t a lot of good things said about the movies, I actually enjoyed them.
