Reviews for National Treasure
Its what "Raiders of the Lost Arc" would have looked like, if it were produced by Mickey Mouse, reading from the socialist/globalist mantra of Michael Eisner.

falls short in many ways, not the least of which is a ridiculously moronic plot that defies reason at every turn

Despite the release date, "National Treasure" is a summer movie all the way...but in a drama-heavy fall season, it has perfect timing for adventure fans.

As a family-friendly adventure, the film undoubtedly excels - though it's clear the movie could've used a little less adventure and a little more sleuthing.

...may well have the most asinine plot in the history of cinema.

It's pretty preposterous and a little too long but kind of fun.

This goofy, good-natured dry run for The Da Vinci Code is almost well-meaning enough to compensate for its countless problems.

One scavenger hunt that's definitely not worth playing...it has more climaxes than a porno movie.

Cage . . . all but sleepwalks through the film with an expression and body language that could be the result of his jockeys being just a scooch binding

An exciting little adventure movie differentiating itself from the pack by focusing more on its string of clues than it does on setting up the next big piece of stunt work.
