Treasure on the silver screen - National Treasure Reviews

Initially, I was quite relunctant to see this film because i am not exactly what you would call a nick cage fan. However, the story does a fairly effective job of drawing me, a somewhat less enthusiastic viewer into the story. The whole charm of the movie in my opinion revovles around a classic treasure hunt with a unique spin on it. This time the treasure is an ancient treasure guarded for generations and brought to america by the founding fathers. Now the Founding Fathers have left behind clues in some of Americas most popular history to guide a discerning treasure hunter (cage) to the loot. Im not gonna lie, i was surprinsingly entertained by this film. As usual Jerry Bruckheimer manages to make a movie thats value comes solely from the entertainment factor, which bothers me sometimes. However, i felt my $7 was well worth it......Acting was average, i mean you dont need to act as much in an action flick......plot, not exactly creative, but still interesting. ****I think this could be a great action/adventure movie for the younger crowd. It is PG and contains no explicit violence or sexual activity. It is harder to find an action movie that the kids can watch. Other than kids, anyone looking for the mystery and excitement of a tresure hunt, or their regular dosage of escapism should check it out.
