National Treasure

Every now and then, Disney gets it right in my book! In National Treasure, they do what Indiana Jones 4 couldn't do! They made a fun,action packed movie with not a lot of bells and whistles, and they deliver the goods. It is a good movie for those who follow history. It's a good movie for those who like movies that take you on a roller coaster ride. Plus, it's a good movie for kids (if you can break them away from Hannah Montana and the Jonas Brothers).

Nicolas Cage is Benjamin Franklin Gates, the man who thinks there's a map on the back of the Declaration of Independence, and ends up stealing it! I like the character he played, with the exception that he comes off as a know-it-all. Justin Bartha steals the show as Riley. Riley is a smart mouth sidekick who doesn't keep up with the history, but knows his way around computers.

This movie does what Indiana Jones 4 didn't do! It kept me entertained! From the beginning to end, you'll laugh and cheer for the heroes to make good.
