I Was Impressed, But What Was This Movie About?(SPOILERS)

Rating: 7/10 (12 December 2006)

When I was going to see this movie I was expecting it to be really cheesy and stupid. When I went into the theater there were not a lot of people there, but I was impressed with this movie. The acting was good, it had very well-done action scenes, and it had good music. The only thing is that the plot may be too complicated for younger children, not to mention older children.
I'm going to give the plot as best as I can. A man named Ben Gates wants to find a treasure hidden by the Freemasons. He finds out there is a map leading to the treasure on the back of the Declaration of Independence. His friend Ian wants to steal it, but Ben doesn't. Then Ian tries to steal it. Ben says that the only way to protect the Declaration is to steal it. Ben then takes it. He and his friend Riley take Abigail Chase with them to Ben's dad's house for they need the Silence Dogood letters because his dad owns them. He gave them away. Ben gets clues to the treasure, including Ben Franklin's glasses to see the map on the back of the Declaration. Then Ian gets the Declaration away from Ben. They go to underground to the treasure. When Ben says he isn't sure if it is their Ian leaves him and Riley and Chase. Then they find the treasure but Ben is arrested for stealing it. He says that Ian was stealing it and Ian is arrested and Ben doesn't go to jail. Confusing, isn't it?
Overall, I was very impressed by this film. It was a great film that a lot of people can enjoy. I was really excited when I found out that Jerry Bruckheimer produced it, because he produced Pirates of the Caribbean. Anyway, the is a great film. Some of the scenes are a little too much like Raiders of the Lost Ark, though. Luckily that was a fantastic movie.
7/10
