I saw National Treasure last night. I didn't pick the movie, BTW.
When the credits rolled my comment was, "I'm glad they still make movies for the 10-12 year old set."
The movie tried to have some sort of "Da Vinci Code" like feel, replete with clues, puzzles and conspiracies. The movie didn't have any suspense at all. The clues and puzzles felt more like someone trying to teach me about American History in the guise of a fun movie. Unfortunately, it flunked on all accounts.
The acting and script were equivalent to an "After School TV Special" when I was growing up.
Perhaps the problem is having seen "Team America". That movie is such a satire of big budget, overblown, over the top soundtrack, Hollywood movies, I'll probably never be able to enjoy another movie in this genre again.
In parting, don't even bother seeing this movie if you're an adult. If you have to see it, at least go to a matinee.
I still wish I could be as cool as Nicholas Cage, even in this dumb movie.

We're seeing this tonight at the drive-in. Because D. wants to see it, it's what's playing, and... I won't care too much if I nod off during. *sigh*
