An underrated movie

Rating: 9/10 (20 August 2015)

I honestly don't know why this movie got such bad reviews, and such low ratings. It was good enough to get a sequel, and I can't argue with that. This is actually one of my favorite Nicholas Cage movies. It's funny, adventures, dramatic in some scenes, and overall, just a great watch. I always get confused between National Treasure and National Treasure 2, as I can never remember what happens in which one. They kind of blend together, but that's okay.
This movie is about Benjamin Gates, and his quest to the truth to a long-asked question. Did his family help in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln? He comes from a family of treasure-seekers, and sets out into a mission with his friends, to find this particular treasure, hidden by the Founding Fathers, that will clear his family's name. Through this endeavor, he has to steal the Declaration Of Independence, gets hunted by the F.B.I., and also gets hunted by rouge treasure hunters.
Recommended for: Nicholas Cage fans, treasure hunting story fans, action / comedy mix fans.
Overall, I give this movie a 9 out of 10, which in my ratings book is: Amazing.
