Pure fun...

Rating: 8/10 (30 December 2007)

National Treasure is both smart and action packed. Yes it may be used to teach kids History but it actually works. You feel almost as if you are participating in the puzzles with the characters. The Masons and Templar treasure was nice treasure choice. Ben Gates is pretty cool and Riley makes you laugh while you go on the roller coaster ride. Overall, it's very enjoyable though it has flaws such as sometimes being far fetched but I like some of that in an adventure. Oh, and the bad guy is pretty evil. National Treasure is a heist, adventure/action movie that should keep you guessing and involved with the story until the end. I love movies that can make you see something extraordinary out of something ordinary and that's what National Treasure does and does it well. Jon Turtletaub I give you kudos for making a movie though fast and kinetic felt very down to earth and easy to follow. 8/10! Great good fun!
