A Fantastic Action Adventure!

Rating: 8/10 (28 June 2007)

Benjamin Franklin Gates descends from a family of treasure-seekers who've all hunted for the same thing: a war chest hidden by the Founding Fathers after the Revolutionary War. Ben's close to discovering its whereabouts, as is his competition, but the FBI is also hip to the hunt.
This film is the definition of entertainment: Although with a ridiculous plot similar to "The Da Vinci Code", I found the movie really entertaining and a really great film! There are a few action scenes but the scenes that take their place are interesting. It doesn't bore you for a two hour movie. I found myself in pure excitement throughout the movie.
I also find this movie a lot less boring than the Pirates of the Caribbean films. At least it gives you some interesting historical facts. I also find the score really good! It feels thrilling and a great use for an action film. The action sequences (although not many) are done fantastically. They were thrilling and suspenseful.
Nicolas Cage's performances is good. Diane Kruger's performance is nice and sexy and Justin Bartha was the comic relief of the film. In my opinion, he's my favorite character. The CGI in the film was also very well done. I don't like the fact that people didn't like this film because the plot is ludicrous. Don't mind it if you're watching this film. It's for entertainment purposes.
If you would like to see a great action adventure without minding the ludicrous plot, you'll like it! It has great characters, action scenes, and interesting historical facts (you will learn something new). It's fun throughout, even for a two hour movie.
