Like a Hardy Boys mystery on steroids, National Treasure offers popcorn thrills and enough boyish charm to overcome its rampant silliness. Although it was roundly criticized as a poor man's rip-off of Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Da Vinci Code, it's entertaining on its own ludicrous terms, and Nicolas Cage proves once again that one actor's infectious enthusiasm can compensate for a multitude of movie sins. The contrived plot involves Cage's present-day quest for the ancient treasure of the Knights Templar, kept secret through the ages by Freemasons past and present. Finding the treasure requires the theft of the Declaration of Independence (there are crucial treasure clues on the back, of course!), so you can add 'caper comedy' to this Jerry Bruckheimer production's multi-genre appeal. Nobody will ever accuse director Jon Turtletaub of artistic ambition, but you've got to admit he serves up an enjoyable dose of PG-rated entertainment, full of musty clues, skeletons, deep tunnels, and harmless adventure in the old-school tradition. It's a load of hokum, but it's fun hokum, and that makes all the difference. --Jeff Shannon

Rating:  - National Treasure
National Treasure: A great movie with lots of action. It was really fun to sit and be entertained by this movie.
Rating: - Great Movie!
This is a great family movie filled with a good combination of comedy, drama, and suspense. A movie everyone is bound to enjoy! Amazon has all movies for the best price!
Rating: - Mysteriously fantastic.
This move is one of my favorites. Nicholas Cage plays a thrill seaker that is trying to figgure out his family legacy of a lost treasure. This movie is fulled with mystery and adventure. Leaves you wanting more and National treasure 2:book of secrets is even better
Rating: - A Fun Adventure Film for the Entire Family
Nicholas Cage stars in this fun, fast-paced movie that's enjoyable for all ages. Cage stars as Benjamin Gates. His grandfather (Christopher Plummer) and father (Jon Voight) have spent years searching for the treasure of the Knight's Templar. The treasure has been kept secret for years by the Freemasons. Now, Ben decides to carry on the family tradition and search for the treasure himself. Ben, along with two friends, head to Antarctica in search of the first clue. After finding it, Ben discovers that a hidden map may be on the back of the Declaration of Independence. Ben is betrayed by one of his friends, played by Sean Bean. Soon, its a race to Washington D.C to see who can get their hands on the Declaration first.
Along the way, Ben and his other friend Riley, played by Justin Bartha, enlist the help of a woman (Diane Kruger) in Washington who's overseeing the public display of the Declaration. Will Ben get his hands on the Declaration first, or will he be too late?
This is a great movie. The story is very well-conceived. I was amazed at the plot and how well the movie flowed. I was kept guessing throughout the entire move. I watched the move with my three young children, and they absolutely loved it. Jon Voight does a marvelous job as the elder Gates, and it was enjoyable to watch his transformation as being totally against searching for the treasure to totally embracing the search. Nicholas Cage is excellent as the cunning and resourceful Ben Gates; Sean ... Read More
Rating: - An unbelievable adventure
National Treasure is literally an unbelievable adventure. There are so many gaping holes in the plausibility of the plot that you must simply suspend your disbelief for the duration of the movie. If you can do that, you will be greatly entertained. What more can you ask of a movie?
First, let's deal with some criticisms. Is it a rip-off of Dan Brown's "The DaVinci Code"? Sure! The timing of the movie, the hidden clues beneath seemingly straight-forward public documents/paintings, and the secret society protecting its great treasure... we'll drop the word 'rip-off' and use 'influenced by' instead.
Does the movie require either the bad guys or the authorities to act naively in order to progress the story? Yep. However we have seen news stories frequently where crooks and lawmen have acted much more foolishly than the characters in this story.
Can anything in this movie be accepted as believable? Well, that's up to you. The pyramid with the glowing eye thing on a $1 bill seems pretty goofy to me, and the guys who dreamed that one up (our Founding Fathers) might be capable of just about anything. We know that the period around the American Revolution was full of secret societies and codes, handshakes, and ways to signify a rebellious spirit. Streets were named backwards, place settings at meals were opposite from the British standard, and documents were hidden in trees, in back of mirrors, and other interesting places. Check your attic!
