very good summer time movie.

Rating: 7/10 (2 January 2006)

National Treasure is one of those films that you really have to check out for your-self and make your mind up . This movie for me makes a change from the normal type of films that I check out in the sense that it was not that heavy at all . The good thing about it was that it moved at a good pace and really did not fire of into in sub-plot or and twists that were too complicated , the humour was funny and sharp but another good thing about this film was that the action was quick sharp , not really gory at all which was surprisingly good to be really honest but the good thing about National Treasure was that unlike a Schwartznegger action flick where the action is over flowing all over the place this one was in quick short bursts leaving you wanting more . I also learnt a bit about the American history so it is educational to some extend to those who don't know that much about American history . The acting was great , especially the father son relationship between Cage and Voight and lets not forget about Sean Bean after all he was 006 !!!. The only let down would be that this would be one of those movies that appeal to fans of Nicolas Cage and people who enjoyed the Tomb Raider flicks and to those fans who also enjoyed movies like Ocean's 11 as it did try and incorporate these high-tech heist scenes which were enjoyable having said that . On the whole , this was in my opinion a great holiday/summer time flick and I am actually looking forward to the sequel .
NATIONAL TREASURE - 7.5 OUT 10
