Great Movie!

Rating: 10/10 (22 January 2009)

National Treasure is a really good movie. I have nothing but positive things to say about it. What's good is the acting, plot, screenplay, action, weaving in comedy, music, and family entertainment. This is one of those Disney movies where you think that Disney did not distribute this.
Ben Gates is on a quest. He wants to find fabled treasure that most people think is fake. His associate just tried to kill him and another associate, Riley. Now, the associate, Ian wants to steal the Declaration of Independence to find the treasure. Ben ends up stealing it so it does not fall in the hands of Ian. Now he and Riley are joined up with a beautiful curator and Gate's father and they have the FBI and Ian coming after them.
The acting is very good. Nicholas Cage has been a decent actor throughout his career. Jon Voight did a good job. I also was impressed with Diane Kruger and Justin Bartha.
This movie is great for history buffs. The movie takes place in cities of history such as Philadelphia, NYC, and the nation's capital.
I liked the music here. It is pleasant enough to listen to. The score was composed by Trevor Rabin.
Overall, this is a great movie. I do not know why people are thrashing this movie. I rate this film 10/10.
