I don't know what the critics are talking about...

Rating: Null/10 (6 December 2004)

As usual, my suspicions of "official" movie critics have proved correct. Before seeing this movie I heard several unfavorable reviews by so-called official critics and commentators. However, I heard even more extremely favorable personal reviews from friends, family and acquaintances. All of them said it was a good, if not great, film. And I have to agree.
This was another blockbuster (as proved by the box-office numbers) with a great cast, excellent special effects, a good believable storyline, and non-stop realistic action. The fast pace moved the film along without letting it flounder on insignificant details, as alluded to by certain reviewers.
One of the greatest negative points by the critics was the poor, or lack of, comedy relief by the quirky sidekick. Wow, I guess they just don't understand what a dry humor is. Or else it's an acquired taste and they have no palate for it, as opposed to the rest of the nation.
Nation Treasure IS a national treasure and will definitely become a treasure in our DVD collection as soon as it becomes available.
My advice to the average Joe consumer: stop giving any credence whatsoever (as I have) to the alleged notable critics and reviewers and go see this movie. Listen to people like yourselves who have seen the movie and not to the liberal-minded, foreign-film-watching, like-to-see-sex-and-drugs-and-immorality-promoted-as-"art" "critics" and make your own decisions about what you choose to see.
Sincerely, -average Joe critic
