Our wise founding fathers knew that no one man should have too much wealth, so they put a bunch of treasure pilfered from other continents into one location so someday one man might find it. American spirit = reinvigorated. The sequels needed to ramp up the scale of crimes against country Cage commits. I wanted movies where he looks dead into the camera and says "I have to blow up the World Trade Center", "I have to go back in time and shoot JFK", but oh no, Disney can't have that!

Quality family adventure, nice stunts, stupid story, as you'd expect, and at least 30 mins overlong. Of course, the girl's hot as hell, which helps. The villains are British, which is a nice touch, in a self-conscious sort of way. And in the end, at least it's not the fucking Da Vinci Code!

While piecing together bits from early American history, this film is an enjoyable action flick that does not take itself too seriously, and never forgets that it is a lighthearted, just-for-fun action/adventure movie.

It's certainly both more fun and less aggravating than the Da Vinci Code, but the characters are so bewilderingly stupid that even Nic Cage gets a look of "Has the script writer ever actually spoken to a human being?" at least every five minutes.

Plot really stretches plausability to the point of ridiculousness. While it is a children's movie I really hope that my children, if I ever have any, have better taste in children's movies.

I definitely got an Indiana Jones vibe from this a couple of times. While obviously not as good Indy it brought be back to the good ol' days... so this is definitely a Guilty Pleasure thing. 72 for humoring the manchild in me :)

Lots of silly fun. A film like this doesn't need to have a great plot or deep meaning to succeed. The story is just solid enough to take you through the film and Cage is a likable enough guy that you want to go on the ride with him till the end.

One clue leads to one hint that leads to another realization, that leads to another clue, that leads to another hint that leads to another realization that ultimately leads to idiocy across the board. Kids and parents probably can enjoy it equally, but the movie is just preposterous.

These movies remind me of the Indiana Jones films, in that the stories are filled with action, but also huge amounts of humor and some history. While, sure, the plot is pretty far-fetched, that is kind of the point, o I'm okay with it. For what the film is trying to be, it's very well done a fun to watch!

This is a middle-of-the-road trifle. Its PG rating is, no doubt, intended to draw in families, but with its adventure aspects frequently skimmed over in favor of thriller elements and all of the characters being adults, children will be bored. As for the adults in the audience, their attention spans will be satiated, but not to any memorable end. The closing credits of signal a squandering of creative potential with a lazy screenplay afraid to take on a personality to call its own.

Agreeably silly, and refreshingly presented in a PG format (ask yourself: do all the other rock 'em, sock 'em action flicks need explicit violence to work?). It's also lazily scripted, chock full of phoned-in performances, and artlessly directed.

This is the epitome of trash blockbusters. The leaps of logic that they do are UNBELIVABLE. Holy shit, that is not how reasoning works. Absolutely hilarious, so iconic. The amount of times they say “stealing the Declaration of Independence” is fantastic, and I laughed harder every time

Don't be a movie snob! This is a great movie on many levels. "National Treasure" is a thriller, romance, and buddy movie all rolled into one. It's "The Patriot" meets "Nottting Hill" meets "48 Hours!" Even the bad guys are likeable. Get off your high horses and enjoy this patriotic romp!

Look, it's a romp. Nicholas Cage is hard to stomach in anything I find (well, since Birdy, anyway), but at least he is not trying to emote here. It's a treasure hunt with not much thought put into it, but, well, it's a welcome distraction from cleaning the grout from the bathroom tiles.
