I watched this film to follow a genre that seems to have been lost in Hollywood over recent years, adventure. Its exactly what I got and i thoroughly enjoyed it. There are probably many things wrong with this film but if you just want to relax for a couple of hours and take movie with a pinch of salt, then this film is great. Thoroughly enjoyable plot, good action sequences and a nice enough cast. All good fun.

Okay this is not Pirates, as I found out. It didn't have as much fun and excitement as Pirates. But it is a good movie. Screw the critics.

A light-hearted film with a great plot, which when combined with its revenue becomes another example of "Don't trust the critics". But judging by the "average rating" I guess that any film that doesn't have end of the world scenes or over-the-top violence in it is deemed inferior today.

Not the best Disney (or general) film ever, but still pretty darn good for my tastes.

39/100 for National Treasure? All I can say is WOW, I don't know what movie critics are looking at when watching a film. National Treasure was well-paced with with the right amount of humor and action, and a satisfying payoff when it's all said and done. This is one of my favorites, and am shocked at the lack of kudos given to this film. I watch a movie for entertainment value. Apparently movie critics are looking for something else.

i <3 this movie because its funny but still has the excitement of an action movie.

Despite all its references to things and people of great cultural importance to the USA, National Treasure is a popcorn movie. The plot is absurd, as is nearly every plot twist - but it's all done in good fun, and the turns are executed quickly so that you don't dwell on how outlandish the story is. In terms of a plot living off a massive conspiracy theory, it's more entertainingly executed than things like Da Vinci Code or Conspiracy Theory. Just like those movies, if you go to it for an education, you're asking for disappointment. This movie is good for fast-talking drama, mystery by way of adventure, and attractive people following absurd plans in the name of truth. It's just fun; don't look for anything more than that in it, or you'll lose it.
