| DVD Description Like a Hardy Boys mystery on steroids, National Treasure offers popcorn thrills and enough boyish charm to overcome its rampant silliness. Although it was roundly criticized as a poor man's rip-off of Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Da Vinci Code, it's entertaining on its own ludicrous terms, and Nicolas Cage proves once again that one actor's infectious enthusiasm can compensate for a multitude of movie sins. The contrived plot involves Cage's present-day quest for the ancient treasure of the Knights Templar, kept secret through the ages by Freemasons past and present. Finding the treasure requires the theft of the Declaration of Independence (there are crucial treasure clues on the back, of course!), so you can add "caper comedy" to this Jerry Bruckheimer production's multi-genre appeal. Nobody will ever accuse director Jon Turtletaub of artistic ambition, but you've got to admit he serves up an enjoyable dose of PG-rated entertainment, full of musty clues, skeletons, deep tunnels, and harmless adventure in the old-school tradition. It's a load of hokum, but it's fun hokum, and that makes all the difference. --Jeff Shannon |

Bucsgal76 I Loved this movie!!! My husband and I rented it and I want to add this to our DVD library. It was so exciting. Being from Philadelphia originally, it brought back memories of class trips to the Liberty Bell and Independance Hall. We do not have children yet but would proudly let them watch this class act movie.
Awsome That movie was SOOOOO SWEET ,that was the most AWsome movie Nicolis Cage has ever been in I loved it!
American Myth This was an excellent adventure film that made you think. I spent a lot of time though the movie trying to figure out what the next move would be. Sometimes I got the references before but mostly after.
I like the way the movie changed from having a couple of nuts going after a legend to a cat and mouse game of adversaries. I don't know how much is true about this film but the National Archives had more security than I had thought. The film also gives you a feeling of National Pride when the good guy steal something so that the bad guys can't get it because he want to protect it.
The romantic situations are pretty pridictable but that doesn't really matter. I enjoyed the film and it is a very good action adventure.
The best part about this being on DVD is finding out all the coding techiques in the extras and the additional features you get if you solve the puzzles. Solving some of the additional features gives you a better understanding of what the characters in the movie were going through.I think I got through everything and believe me it is worth it. Make sure you check out the additional features. |
