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

Rating:  - Great Movie!
This is a great family movie filled with a good combination of comedy, drama, and suspense. A movie everyone is bound to enjoy! Amazon has all movies for the best price!
Rating: - Mysteriously fantastic.
This move is one of my favorites. Nicholas Cage plays a thrill seaker that is trying to figgure out his family legacy of a lost treasure. This movie is fulled with mystery and adventure. Leaves you wanting more and National treasure 2:book of secrets is even better
Rating: - A Fun Adventure Film for the Entire Family
Nicholas Cage stars in this fun, fast-paced movie that's enjoyable for all ages. Cage stars as Benjamin Gates. His grandfather (Christopher Plummer) and father (Jon Voight) have spent years searching for the treasure of the Knight's Templar. The treasure has been kept secret for years by the Freemasons. Now, Ben decides to carry on the family tradition and search for the treasure himself. Ben, along with two friends, head to Antarctica in search of the first clue. After finding it, Ben discovers ...

Rating: - An unbelievable adventure
National Treasure is literally an unbelievable adventure. There are so many gaping holes in the plausibility of the plot that you must simply suspend your disbelief for the duration of the movie. If you can do that, you will be greatly entertained. What more can you ask of a movie?
First, let's deal with some criticisms. Is it a rip-off of Dan Brown's "The DaVinci Code"? Sure! The timing of the movie, the hidden clues beneath seemingly straight-forward public documents/paintings, and ... Read More
Rating:  - Davincianda Jones and the Freemasons of Doom
In one of the more interesting hybrids to pop out of Disney, Nicholas Cage plays Ben Franklin...gates that is, a treasure hunter spanning the globe to prove the family story about a missing treasure guarded for centuries by the Knights Templar and Freemasons. If you're looking for plausibility or realism, you're in the wrong place. But if you want a pop-corn thrill ride where no-one curses and there never seems to be any real danger, climb aboard.
Jerry Bruckheimer, say what you want about ... Read More
