But having discovered the latest clue to the treasures whereabouts, which points to one of America's most important documents, the Declaration of Independence, Gates is forced into taking drastic action and steals the historic document before his corrupt partner; Ian Howe (Sean Bean) gets his hands on it.

    Advantages Advantages Solid acting, fun storyline, interesting ideas, fast-paced action

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Very silly and unbelievable in places

    National Treasure (2004) - FILM ONLY REVIEW Certificate: PG (UK) / PG (USA) / PG (Ireland) Run time: 131 minutes Director: Jon Turteltaub Main cast: Ben Gates - Nicholas Cage Abigail Chase - Diane Kruger Riley Poole - Justin Bartha Ian Howe - Sean Bean Patrick Gates - Jon Voight Special Agent Sadusky - Harvey Keitel As someone with an interest in history and archaeology, it is perhaps not surprising that I enjoyed the cheerfully silly Disney action adventure "National Treasure". Something of a sleeper hit when it was first released, this film was generally enjoyed by audiences but widely ... more

    Advantages Advantages Interesting storyline, good acting, suitable for all the family

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A little over the top in some places

    National Treasure : The greatest adventure history has ever revealed. From the makers of Pirates of the Caribbean, Walt Disney. What better way to spend a Saturday afternoon before you have to trawl your way into work, than writing a review for Ciao. Now I’m about due one I think, I try not to block write reviews and to throw one out every so often, so here it is. Last Thursday, I went to see the film, National Treasure, so here’s my opinion of it. National Treasure starts off in 1974 in an old attic in Washington DC, with a little boy whom we learn is called Benjamin Franklin Gates, who finds ... more

    4 Stars Yet Another Conspiracy Theory Review with images 16/01/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A good action yarn

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A tenuous plot

    ~ ~ Every Christmas the mad cabbie and his young lass (13-year-old daughter) take in a movie at the local multiplex. It’s become something of a tradition, and we make a real treat of it, pigging out on the Ben and Jerry’s ice cream, scoffing big tubs of popcorn, and generally having a whale of a time. This year we both decided that the new Nicolas Cage blockbuster, “National Treasure”, which opened here in Ireland just after Christmas, would be our film of choice. I’m a huge fan of the Cage fella, and the young lass has long been an aficionado of “treasure hunt” movies since cutting her teeth ... more

    4 Stars He's got the bl**dy map ! Review with images 11/01/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A good, entertaining film.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Nothing original.

    Whatever happened to the "adventure" genre movies ? In the 80's, we had classics such as "The Goonies", "Jewel Of The Nile", "Romancing The Stone" and, of course, the "Raiders Of The Lost Ark" and Indy films. Over the past few years, there have been very few of these types of movies - "The Mummy" may fit into this catergory, but it was not a very good movie. It came as some relief, then, when I first saw the trailer for "National Treasure" - a new adventure film starring Nicolas Cage. Now, having seen the movie, do I feel that the genre should have been left hidden and buried, or dug up and ... more
