Justin Bartha
And yeah...out of all the actors in this movie, Justin Bartha and Diane Kruger are my favorites.

I agree Elenanna! Both of them are awesome! I know I'm kind of sick...but I always wanted to see a Riley/Abigail pairing.

Ben/Abi fan myself as well
And it is.. But I guess it's probably because he's a more well known actor. Justin Bartha's played more supporting roles...such as Failure to Launch. I actually have a hard time figuring out the differences in these movies.
I want to see it again......

Ooh, that's something I never thought of! Maybe it could work...maybe.  I think Ben and Abi work too well together though - I myself am rooting for Riley/the girl who asked for his autograph, because it was cute. 
I LOVE THIS MOVIE.  I went to see it the day it came out and it pwns! Riley's my favorite, hands down. Poor guy, I would've bought his book. _________________

I saw this movie yesterday. It was a good movie, very entertaining. However, it could never live up to the first one--but what sequel can?
The plotline was decent (though it was full of holes) and it provided ample time for our heroes to run around and score their punchlines. I LOVED the inclusion of Helen Mirren in the cast, she is a wonderful actress! I'm not sure if I just liked the character of Abigail more in the first movie, but it seemed like she didn't get much screen time or character development in this movie other than her argument with Ben, which seemed rather silly to me. Though that scene they made in Buckingham palace--HILLARIOUS, very well written and performed.
And I love Riley (always have!) in this movie, but once again, I don't think they can top the first. My sister and I have suggested a possible Riley/Abigail pairing before--they do look cute together--but, come on. Ben and Abigail are pretty much meant to be.  And I loved Riley's fan at the end! That was great scene to squeeze in.
Overall, the movie seemed shorter than the first, though they are exactly the same length--131 min. I think it felt like more happened in the first movie...or at least that it made more sense in the first movie. I didn't really follow the overarching story here. (How did we get from Ben's great-grandfather to Cibola again?) But the little scenes here and there were what made the movie good--Ben talking with the French guards, anything with Riley in it, the Ben/Abi fight, when Ben kidnaps the president. I'm thankful that Disney did well with this sequel. _________________ <center> all we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us

Well, the whole 'Greatest Treasure in the World' thing was new then, so it made more of a compelling story. When they try and discover an world-changing trasure again, it's sort of pushing it. I would have liked it better if the plot was a natural build off of the first discovery--say, some of it was still undiscovered, or some of it had been stolen, or some of it was fake, etc.
Plus, this movie suffered from a serious lack of Sean Bean. That totally brought it down for me. 
But I still like Book of Secrets a lot! Just not as much as the original. _________________ <center> all we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us

I really do not believe this movie was about finding the "ultimate treasure". It was about freeing the family's name, and they had to find the treasure in order to do that. So, it was a completely different feel in that way.
The only thing I want different in the movie is the last line.
SLIGHT SPOILER:
Instead of Riley saying, "I love this car." I want him to say, "Thank you Mr. President."

the one thing i do have to say is i didn't feel like there was much of a hunt this time. in the first one they had a lot of obsitcles to get around and be sneaky and it was one clue after the next. this one just seems alittle too easy for them and it was like 3 or 4 clues and they've got it....i think there could have been more to the hunt.

**SPOILERS** (kinna)
it's such a great movie! i saw it the day it came out with my friends. it was great how they went to mt rushmore! that's one of the most amazing places in america i've been to! lol. but riley was awesome. he's always the greatest. i can't believe ben and abigail broke up. but at the end, they ended up getting back together, right? my fav part was when they were yelling in buckingham palace, or where ever they were. it was funny.

I really want to see this movie! 
) are awesome! lol
Oh, I know! I felt so bad for Riley at the beginning too! 
he's so the best in NT! 
I felt like I was having deja vue (sp?) at times. 
maybe it was just me... but it really felt like I was watching the first one at times... eh, at any rate I still plan on buying it when it comes out on dvd!
