If You've Made It Through Fifth Grade, This Movie May Insult Your Intelligence

Rating: 2/10 (30 May 2008)

I don't know if any big budget hit movie will be ever be as dumb as "Independence Day," but this movie gives it a run for the money. This is so stupid, such an insult to anyone who has passed fifth grade or more, I gave up on it after an hour.
When a guy and his ex-wife are able to go into the Oval Office of the President of the United States without any problem, rifle through the President's desk without the bimbo-White House aide in the room hearing him, and then later kidnap the President with the just the aid of his elderly father.....that was enough for me. I actually didn't make it through the kidnapping. The desk scene was enough to convince me that being annoyed for another 50 minutes with the ludicrously-stupid story wasn't worth the aggravation.
I thought the original "National Treasure" was kind of dumb, too, but this sequel is beyond that. It isn't just the White House baloney; it's the dumb dialog throughout with the typical Disney humor which means bickering spouses and enough political correctness you make you barf in your box of popcorn.
Yes, it's not boring and if you're a moron who believes anything, especially outrageous conspiracy theories which make no sense and are not factual in the least, you might find this entertaining enough to watch all two hours. You'd probably believe all of this was possible, too! For the rest of you who have a modicum of intelligence, don't waste your time with this film.
