National Treasure Reviews |
However, for two and a half hours of well-conceived fun, you can't go wrong with National Treasure. Preposterous though its concept may be, there is shrewdness and charm in its labyrinthine plot. National Treasure is no silly conspiracy theory—it is a triumph of the imagination, an electric thriller and fun, fun, fun. [read review] 
--Jack Moore (The Movie Insider)
Ultimately, National Treasure is not a great movie. As both a treasure hunting adventure and a conspiracy film, it falls short in many ways, not the least of which is a ridiculously moronic plot that defies reason at every turn. Still, if you can withstand the tedium of its opening montage, you’re bound to have a good time. But you’d do well not to think too hard about any of this film’s backstory. [read review] 
--Robert Strohmeyer (FilmCritic.com)
It's highly unlikely that National Treasure holds up to scrutiny in terms of historical accuracy or plausibility, but really, this isn't that kind of movie. As a family-friendly adventure, the film undoubtedly excels - though it's clear the movie could've used a little less adventure and a little more sleuthing. [read review] 
--David Nusair (Reel Film Reviews)
For over two hours, there are car chases, shoot-outs, snarling bad guys, a snarky side-kick, and, because this is the typically overproduced Jerry Bruckheimer effort, explosions, the first a restrained 15 minutes into the proceedings. Yet, in all of thatthere is one element missing. Fun. [read review] 
--Andrea Chase (Killer Movie Reviews)
INTERMINABLE and riddled with plot holes you could drive a humvee through, "Na tional Treasure," the latest assault on moviegoers' collective intelligence and eardrums by uber-producer Jerry Bruckheimer, is sort of "The Da Vinci Code for Dummies." [read review] 
--Lou Lumenick (New York Post)
National Treasure is a really dumb movie made all the dumber by the fact that it thinks it's smart. It's remarkably pleased with itself, its tricks causing it no end of delight even if the rest of the world can see right through them. [read review] C
--Rob Vaux (Flipsidemovies.com)
If ''National Treasure'' mattered at all, you might call it a national disgrace, but this piece of flotsam is so inconsequential that it amounts to little more than a piece of Hollywood accounting. [read review]
--Stephen Holden (The New York Times)
Not only is this film’s plot overly complex, its complete lack of reality takes away from any kind of enjoyment. The film seems confused. It has so many characters and fails to develop them. [read review] D
--Shawn Koonin (TheCinemaSource)
It's too bad it's missing the gems that make movies worthwhile: intelligence, character development, and a legitimate storyline. National Treasure deserves to be buried. [read review]
--James Berardinelli (ReelViews)
Judging by the absolutely packed theater last night, I have the feeling that no matter how ridiculous the story seems, this thing will still make a gobs of money. [read review]
--Jennifer Gregory (MovieWeb)
An invisible treasure map on the back of the Declaration of Independence? If only that were the most credibility-straining thing about this picture! [read review]
--Stephanie Zacharek (Salon)
A dash of "Indiana Jones," a dollop of "The Da Vinci Code," a splash of American history, and lots of high-octane Hollywood hooey. [read review] B-
--Jack Garner (TheJournalNews)
Nicolas Cage usually brims with personality, but you wouldn't know it from this pedestrian ripoff of "Raiders of the Lost Ark." [read review]
