Improbable but Fun Movie
While this movie certainly had some over-the-top improbable moments, it was also a fun and exciting film in the tradition of Indian Jones. I say improbable because of the the reasoning of the characters comes out of nowhere as if they were the only people... more

(3.5 Stars) Family-Oriented Modern Treasure Hunting Romp
Close on the heels of 'Pirates of the Carribbean,' Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer presents another tresure hunting romp starring Nicholas Cage. The story, actions and characters are all formularic, and there is always a kind of feeling like, 'I have seen... more

Excellent Adventure!
I don't always like Nicolas Cage movies, but this one combines the edge-of-the-seat and cerebral adventures. The scenery was fantastic! Combined Indiana Jones with Tomb Raider, and kept the story believable and the continuity good. I won't give away any... more

Completely contrived, but still lots of fun
There is a reason crtics hated this film when it nonetheless did so well in the box office: It's just fun, completely unrealistic fun. The plot would never, ever be possible---the way so many things just happen to work out the way they do (everyone just... more

Coulda been better, but still worth a watch
Well, the movie was put out by Disney. Its pretty well known that Walt Disney was a Mason, so I'm sure this release was fairly calculated to present the more and more popular topic of the Masons and Templars. Ever since "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" (1984?... more

Comic book entertainment
I think the above Jeff Shannon review summed this movie up best with the line "Like a Hardy boys mystery on steroids." (Great line!). Yes this movie is entertaining, and thats why I give it 3 stars, but I found it to be pretty thin entertainment, plus... more

TORRENT OF CLUE HUNTING MAKES THIS DOOZIE WATCHABLE
Amazing how much a movie will reveal itself through its background score. If you overheard National Treasure playing in another room, it'd probably sound like your dentist's.

But I digress. It's a trippy little fusion of American history... more

In a word- INCREDIBLE!
One of the best movies I saw all year...I can't wait until the DVD comes out.

Yes, it is a little DiVinci Code-ish, but I honestly don't remember if I have ever said that one of my favorite current movies was a PG-rated Disney flick.

Bound to be liked.
There is something in this movie for everyone. As an american history buff, I enjoyed this movie for its accurate historical references. Some friends of mine (who describe history as a bunch of stupid wars) enjoyed this movie immensly for the excitement... more

Great Movie
This movie is exciting and entertaining. How often do you fined something diffrent,
movies are always some play off of an older Movie, this seems to be fresh. I am not much for reviews, those who write an outlandish scolding review always sound... more

National Treasure Review
Ok, so the serious movie critics might think National Treasure is a little far-fetched - - So What! It was a very fun movie to watch, kept my interest and had enough action to make it a great family movie.

The most entertaining "Treasure Hunt" I've ever been on!!!!
WOW! - An exciting adverture the whole family can enjoy!!!

I loved the concept. An old New England family handing down this story from one generation to another. The scenery was fantastic and for anyone who hasn't been to either our nation's... more

One of the better adventure movies
I thought it was refreshing to see an adventure movie that didn't involve going to an exotic locale. We don't give this nation too much of a chance. Anyway, off the soapbox. The movie was one of the better adventure flicks I've seen in a long time. It... more

National Treasure
I suppose I am a less than average person (I don't attend many movies at the theater, I rent DVDs.) but I LOVED, "National Treasure". I liked the historical references. I liked that I knew daylight savings time would "save the day" and the fact that I... more

No Profanity #2
My first review of this movie was just pulled by Amazon
Apparently they were not in agreement with what I wrote.
The synopsis of what I wrote was that the overwhelming majority of reviewers in this country panned this movie.
This is... more

National Treasure
Personally, I rather liked this better than Raiders of the Lost Ark, and I'll tell you why...though I am a longtime "Raiders" fan, the main character is more believable and lacks the womanizing stupidity of Indiana Jones. There is no killing in this film... more

Indiana Jones in today's environment
A good comparison if you're looking for one would be the Indiana Jones series of movies without the monkey brains and not quite as deadly :-) I would say also that National Treasure is more family friendly than the Indiana Jones series of movies as... more

Non-stop action/adventure!!!
National Treasure was realeased on November 19, 2004, to pretty low expectations. People expected it to be big, but since it was up against the SpongeBob SquarePants movie, they figured it would be a hit, but not the boffo blockbuster it has become. And... more

Fun Ride, But Not Very Believable
Bring along a healthy dose of disbelief suspension and you'll enjoy this action/adventure story in a vein similar to that of the Indiana Jones movies. Don't expect much deviation from the standard formula: the hero, an underappreciated archaeologist,... more
