: National Treasure
The conspiracy and clue-based premise of this movie is an obvious rip-off of the horrible Dan Brown code books, so I didn’t expect much. I got what I expected. It’s a routine adventure, with flimsy characters and plot, a rapid pace that leaves you confused and mindless, and a red herring ending that’s not especially satisfying. The ride’s not horrible, however. It’s mildly interesting, and there are moments of humor and a few good lines that make it enjoyable. I wasn’t overly impressed or depressed; it’s routine. I did like the luminous Diane Kruger as the love interest: her spicy character and beauty made the adventure more intriguing, though it wasn’t enough to overcome the movie’s inherent flaws. Still, it’s mildly enjoyable, though certainly don’t go into this expecting any kind of intelligence.
