April 11, 2012Although technically the film wasn't very good (the acting was ok at best and the main plot details we pretty obvious) I had quite a lot of fun watching it. I was able to get into the story and it felt like I was going on this journey with them. I really liked the figuring out th... read more

December 27, 2011This film is so much fun! I love History and the film is pretty exciting, and honestly, I can't complain with that. The script and acting is meh, but the movie is fun and characters are likable. I definitely recommend this one.

September 6, 2011NATIONAL TREASURE isn't great, but it's often a fun family action movie. I have to give it the benefit of the doubt, since I don't know if half of the information it presents is even factual (you can't expect anything like a documentary from Disney, anyway), but this is also ver... read more

June 23, 2011I'm one of the only people who CAN'T stand this film. It's slow, poorly acted, and annoying. I didn't care for the characters once during the film.

May 30, 2011This movie was good, but no way near great. Nicolas Cage makes a lot of bad movies these days so its good to see him make a good movie for once. It had a good plot, the minor characters were boring. he action scenes were not needed, their treasure hunters, not John Mclain. In... read more

April 26, 2011National Treasure is an entertaining ripoff of Indiana Jones and The Da Vinci Code, a comparison that I've seen pretty much everywhere on the internet. National Treasure takes the best elements of both films, the puzzle solving from Da Vinci Code and the thrilling adventure from ... read more

December 13, 2010Can I marry your brain?
This was an awesome movie that I can watch over and over again without getting tired or bored! This was cleverly done. Rhiley Poole was freaking funny. I recommend everyone to watch it. It's a very exciting movie that won't make you disappoint (unl... read more

Ten minutes into the picture, you're searching the screen for life-support machines. Full Review

James Berardinelli, ReelViews
This infantile excuse for an adventure yarn plays more like a triple-cross between The DaVinci Code, CSI, and The Amazing Race than Raiders of the Lost Ark. Full Review

Sluggish for a Jerry Bruckheimer production, but maybe the kids will learn something. Full Review

As documents go, this one tastes like cardboard. Full Review

The best thing about National Treasure is how clever it is. Full Review

Peter Howell, Toronto Star
Cage plays Gates way too broadly and crudely; I half expected him to break into his patented Elvis impersonation. Full Review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
It has no ambition, little sense and false sentiment, but it does have velocity, high spirits and scale. Full Review
