National Treasure
“A dumb movie National Treasure remains, but only the unkindest heart could call it bad.” - Rob Vaux Flipside Movie Emporium
I could not agree more. While this movie is a little heavy on the cheese, it does make up for it in fun and big-budget locations, sets and explosions.
That’s not to say that I recommend going to see this movie, because I don’t. I do, however, recommend not listening solely to critics’ opinions, even if they are by and large on the same wave-length.
“Fluffy, frenetic and sometimes downright farcical, National Treasure makes gleeful fun of itself while leading us popcorn-munching escapists down a tangled, painless adventure trail.” - Bob Ross, Tampa Tribune
Wow, hats off to Mr. Ross for creating one of the longest sentences I’ve ever seen, all while not saying a darned thing about the movie. Bravo and kudos go to Mr. Ross as he sits in front of his typewriter creating one-liners while he watches movies on the company’s dime.
Ok, perhaps that was a bit harsh, but when the public looks towards the “movie experts” they should get something worth reading. I suppose that this problem permeates through all American media and isn’t limited to movie reviews - but I can complain can’t I?
I’m not going to review the movie and pick it apart, simply because Bruckheimer films aren’t worth my time lately. I will say this, National Treasure is a fun movie that keeps you entertained through it’s entire one-hour and fourty-minute run time. But that’s just my opinion, which isn’t worth it’s weight in sand.
