National Treasure
National Treasure, I think, is sort of like Indiana Jones, but with waaay more gadgets! I like those kind of adventure movies, you know, the totally unrealistic kinds with amusing, mis-adventure-ish type characters whom, despite many “sure-death” experiences, and many many chases, end up, of course, heroes! I got to say that I can watch pretty much any movie that has half a plot and some slightly amusing jokes, but if you’re not that type… you may want to skip this movie!
Actually I thought the first one was pretty good, although, I am not sure I really remember what even happened, but it was entertaining at the time that I watched it! This one, however, was somewhat hard to follow and a bit strange, but still, I don’t regret the hour and a half that I spent watching it! If you’re the indiana-jones-unrealistic-adventure loving type, then I think you’ll like it, if you’re the I-need-an-actual-stimulating-plot type, stay far away!
