Entertaining family movie

Rating: 8/10 (10 April 2017)

National Treasure really is a cute family movie. The action isn't too rough and the violence isn't bloody at all, so it's suitable. The movie is all about these two men who are searching down in an old abandoned ship under a big frozen lake, while they're searching they find these clues to a big treasure, and one of them is to steal the Declaration of Independence. Nicholas Cage and his friend Riley try to convince Sean Bean's character to not do it but of course he and his men decide to anyways. And that begins the endless chase and race that drives the film. I liked all the actors. Cage is good here, and so is Diane Kruger, Sean Bean, and Jon Voight (Cage's father in the movie). The script is pretty average for a film like this. It's not to a great level, but it's not bad, really it gives you enough you need and then that's it, it doesn't try to dazzle you or anything, but it also won't let you down. The ending is well done, I enjoyed it very much. And the visuals are nicely done. All in all, it's an entertaining live action Disney treasure hunt movie that's mild enough for family viewing. 8/10.
