Bites off way more than it can chew

Rating: 4/10 (26 March 2005)

National Treasure featuring Nicolas Cage and Sean Bean tries to be a classic adventure-tale in the tradition of Indiana Jones. Cage tries to find some kind of hidden treasure with the aid of various ancient clues.
Unfortunately for Nick, this is a truly boring movie. The plot is incredibly predictable, and overall the story is quite silly. Facts are ignored and acting is shoddy.
If you're a 13 year old boy with bad taste in movies you'll love this. Everything else is essentially a waste of time since the lack of believable plot will make you yawn. It's got some interesting set design but that's pretty much all that's positive.
