Smart, fun, thrilling and action packed... GREAT movie.

Rating: 10/10 (21 November 2004)

I saw this movie in a sold out theater. There were 3 different ovations including a huge ovation at the end. THE MOVIE WORKS. It's funny, action-packed and romantic. Clearly a lot of attention to details of interesting American history was paid by the filmmakers. The audience LOVED this movie. What shocks me is that it seems that many critics picked on this movie as well as the people who undertook the considerable challenge of making it. Clearly critics do not review movies for the public but for their elite friends and peers. The hotshot hot airbags must think it's not cool to like a thoroughly entertaining well made Jerry Bruckheimer movie. Why do we even listen to so called critics in the first place? At some point critics should learn to check their wannabe-but-can't screen writer egos at the door and review a film based on its merits and its genre. Worst of all, these particular dumber-than-a-bag-of-hair critics didn't even bother to verify that the script was developed years before DaVinci Code was written! Write your critic an email and tell them to get off their high horse and do their job because National Treasure is a GREAT movie!
