Disney version of Da Vinci Code

Rating: 4/10 (15 January 2005)

I must say that I'm quite surprised by the high rating of National Treasure here on IMDb. This movie does not deserve it.
I went to see this movie with an expectation of a mix of Indiana Jones and Da Vinci Code. What I've got was a Disney-kid-version of Dan Brown's book.
The movie was ruined for me after appr 5 or 6 minutes when the main character (played by Nicholas Cage) and his friends discover a ship wreck beneath the ice with help of a metal detector. Somehow the first part of the ship that they manage to dig up is the metal plate that shows the name of vessel. Easy for the younger kids to follow the plot? Yes. Realistic for the audience over 15 years? No.
Additionally Nicholas Cage does a terrible performance and acts totally uninspired in this movie. Another irritating thing is the character of Justin Bartha delivering tiresome one-liners throughout the whole goddamn movie.
This might be an OK family movie especially since parts of it are a basic lesson in the American history.
I find it however difficult to recommend National Treasure to anyone older than 15.
4/10
