Don't worry about the naysayers. Most of them think that if it does not have subtitles it is not any good.
'National Treasure' never promised to be anything highbrow and it is not. It just entertains. The pacing is good there is no overdweliing on points and you fell like they actually are going to accomplish something. Most of the storyline comes from ideas that have been around for years. The clues are also have been put forth by 'conspiracy theorists long before this or any other movie or book.
The character interactions are well done. The sidekick helps us to realize, that oh yea this is a movie. So enjoy the plausible riddles, and have fun with the way they get there.
