Fire up the grill and enjoy a little Cage madness mashed together with some over-the-top Jerry Bruckheimer action!

Directed by Jon Turteltaub, National Treasure is nothing but a series of silly stunts and chases that just rush by.

Full Review | Original Score: D | Nov 18, 2019

While not the greatest film of the year, it is definitely one with a considerable amount of intrigue and action, not to mention some actual history lessons...

Full Review | Nov 13, 2019

It is a definitely guilty pleasure, and 90 percent of the reason why can be summed up in two words: Nicolas Cage.

National Treasure is certainly no Indiana Jones but it's still fun a ride.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 2, 2019

A serviceable actioner, with a playful comic tone and a series of reasonably thrilling set pieces.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 23, 2019

There might be too many inaccuracies in the plot, the mix of the past and the present is naive and at times downright silly but makes for fun viewing if you don't put your thinking caps on. The film has enough to keep you involved.

National Treasure is so ridiculous, but I love it. I love it so much.

The film's infectious enthusiasm for American history-never mind that it's an incredibly fanciful version of that history-is a welcome respite from the hyper-self-conscious civic pride Hollywood usually displays.

It is ... for all its moments a quintessential Bruckheimer project: a big movie that at its core is just too small.

Historical adventure is a fun romp for tweens and up.

Though Turtletaub's direction is inspired, everything else from acting, to plot, and dialogue falls flat...

Not only safe for Junior and Grandma but also pretty entertaining.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 7, 2008

Turteltaub manages to stitch it all together well enough so that the ludicrous nature of the characters' quest doesn't hit you until the final credits roll.

Full Review | Jul 23, 2008

If you can see the film through the eyes of a child -- one who thinks a cheesy thriller is the ideal way to pick up new facts about history -- then this isn't that bad a yarn.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 27, 2006

A mild holiday caper, for the wettest of afternoons.

Full Review | Jun 24, 2006

Has almost nothing to recommend it (Justin Bartha's performance being the lone high point), not even any gnarly explosions, which doesn't bode well for our man Bruckheimer.
