Absolutely ridiculous, I can't deny it. But who cares?

Rating: 8/10 (14 September 2005)

If someone tells you the story of National Treasure, I'm sure you'll experience an amount of difficulty controlling your laugh. That's because the story ís ridiculous. The whole movie is ridiculous, actually. Nicolas Cage manages to immediately understand the most difficult signs in his search for this enormous treasure. And that's a good point, because this way the audience doesn't have to do the thinking. Not that anyone successfully could do this thinking...
Anyway, this movie is absurd, it's ridiculous and the story doesn't make any sense at all. Some scenes, like the one in the beginning on one of the poles where Cage and co easily locate a ship that's been lost for thousands of years, make you laugh by it's stupidness. But this is the one movie I like more and more every time I think about it. It's fantastic, just because of this ridiculous story. See for yourself: you'll love it!
