What "The Da Vinci Code" tried to be:

Rating: 7/10 (3 December 2006)

Very similar in its subject to "The Da Vinci Code" (2006), "National Treasure" solved all the clues and did it with humor, great pace, and style. Its genre is defined as Action / Adventure / Drama / Mystery / Thriller but it is also one of the best comedies of 2004 and loads of fun. I liked it from the beginning but when Harvey Keitel showed up in the middle of the movie and stayed, I knew it would be even better. Comparing to DVC, NT did not try hard not to offend anyone and got away with the ridiculous holes in the plot and a bit overlong final part. It is funny, thrilling, and does exactly what is supposed to - entertains. I only hope that they will not make any sequels to it - sequels don't work as a rule.
