Editorial Review:
National Treasure UMD Movie From Buena Vista
Description of National Treasure [UMD for PSP]:
Like a Hardy Boys mystery on steroids, National Treasure offers popcorn thrills and enough boyish charm to overcome its rampant silliness. Although it was roundly criticized as a poor man's rip-off of Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Da Vinci Code, it's entertaining on its own ludicrous terms, and Nicolas Cage proves once again that one actor's infectious enthusiasm can compensate for a multitude of movie sins. The contrived plot involves Cage's present-day quest for the ancient treasure of the Knights Templar, kept secret through the ages by Freemasons past and present. Finding the treasure requires the theft of the Declaration of Independence (there are crucial treasure clues on the back, of course!), so you can add "caper comedy" to this Jerry Bruckheimer production's multi-genre appeal. Nobody will ever accuse director Jon Turtletaub of artistic ambition, but you've got to admit he serves up an enjoyable dose of PG-rated entertainment, full of musty clues, skeletons, deep tunnels, and harmless adventure in the old-school tradition. It's a load of hokum, but it's fun hokum, and that makes all the difference. --Jeff Shannon
National Treasure [UMD for PSP] Reviews:
Disappointed 
2009-10-25 - Took forever to recieve. Thought since they were in my state that it would have delivered faster. If I had read their reviews I would not have ordered from them at all.
National Treasure 
2009-10-12 - Very good movie. I am glad I bought the bounus material. There really is a lot of fun interactive activities.
An amusing blend between "Indiana Jones" and "Da Vinci Code" 
2009-10-05 - When we think about Spielberg, we are aware about yarns, and we tend to assume the ride as cantral part of the show. There have been many copycast but this is probably the most original among the countless scripts that pretend to follow the Spielberg's pattern.
Let's be sincere. The film begins with a breathtaking and unstoppable display of energy. There are many historical aspects in game and the search of this treasure was a guarantee to make us experience a major doses of histamine and creativeness.
But the plot pitifully shifted to commonplaces. Good guys and bad guys. A beautiful girl involved and a web of tied events. But since the document is stolen, it would seem the plot deflated.
Car chases, expected situations to conclude into a scene that doesn't generate major enthusiasm.
I must admit the cast is impressive. Nicolas Cage, Jon Voigt and Harvey Keitel save the movie from sinking.
Needless to say the film promised much more than what really gave.
america's critic 
2009-09-11 - ok ok i was lost to many treasures and running around like a chicken with its head and a foot cut off, i was so confused i turned it off i usually love movies like this but it didnt click to me
One of the Best! 5 Stars! 
2009-08-30 - As was said in almost every positive review, I think the critics must be crazy. How could they give this brilliant film only 2 stars?!
Despite their review, this has everything a good movie should have- Action, suspense, history, a bit of mystery and at least one character that gives some comic relief (the soundtrack is wonderful too!). If you ask me, it's completely viewable by kids (though some people may have other opinions). I recommend this movie for the whole family 100%.
I hope this helped.
