National Treasure

Sun Nov 28, 2004 5:24 am

I went to see it yesterday, and I thought it was a pretty good movie. The clues to the treasure didn't make much sense, but other than that, I liked it. In my opinion, it's one of the best movies Disney has come out with in a while. :)

I wonder if it's that easy to steal the Declaration of Independance...

After this movie, your best bet is a brick and some fast shoes.

I saw it yesterday and it was pretty good, also vaguely funny.

Can someone please tell me what it is about..? I saw commercials for it.. I'm not intrested, I'd just like to know. :)

I think I'm gong to watch it with the class as a Social Studies field trip...looks interesting. I'm interested in watching it.

I'm going to see it tomorrow. I can't wait!

I saw it on Tuesday as part of a field trip for my whole grade. Though I did find it funny, and the main idea is pretty original and interesting, I found the movie pretty predictable. I could almost see what would happen next. The movie had a lot of general movie stereotypes, too: the love interest, the hero, the comic relief, the villain with the "posh" British accent and his goonies. Something I'd rather rent this movies than go to the theater to watch it.

Medli: It's about a man whose life goal is to find this huge treasure which was hid away by the founding fathers. It's a bumpy road to get it, though, since his former-friend-turned-nemesis is trying to find it before him, but he has the help of his sidekick. It's filled with tons of American history and clues.

I'm seeing it in a few hours, just because my brother wants to see it with the fam'. Might surprise me, who knows. It's gotten very popular lately at the theater I work at -- it sold out last night, which is unusual for a movie on its second week.

I saw it. It was really good! All the clues made complete sence, and I was happy because I could follow along, without getting lost. It was pretty funny too. I like the part at the end where that guy say's "more stairs!". :P I can't believe they gave it a C-!

I saw it today and enjoyed the movie.
I wanted to see it because Sean Bean is in the film and I enjoyed him in LOTR.

Yeah, it was funny at the end when Riley looked like he was going to cry, but it was because of the stairs.

While it's obvious that the director knows little to nothing about Freemasonry and the Knights Templar (both real societies), it still was a good film; even though Ian had a terrible British accent. It really serves as some sort of patriotic adventure uplift/distraction from current and relatively current events, it is pretty much what the country needs at this time. And in this short review, I have ignored my personal vendetta against Nick Cage to better serve and convince the PPT public to go watch this film.

I want to see it. But for some reason my brother is dead set against it, and he's the one I usually go to movies with. My brother tends to be like that though, not even attempting to give something a chance.
I want to see it because it looks extremely interesting. I'm the kind of person that reads National Geographic and watches The Discovery Channel and The History Channel. So this is right up my alley.
Maybe I can get dad to take me.

It looks kinda dumb.

I am pretty sure Sean sounded the exact same in LOTR, so I am assuming that it was his real accent.

It still disturbs me, its like he was trying to bring it out more and more with every scene.

If you're a history buff, you'll enjoy it, and you'll probably get more out of the history parts. I knew about some of the history (enough that I knew that Mason's did exsist :P), but some of the other information went a little too deep for me... o_O

My newspaper just ran a little blurb about how NT is still the top moneymaker, earning almost 10 million more than the Incredibles. And it's in its second week! The epic Alexander was sixth on the list of the top 10 moneymakers, heh.
