Goofs:
Factual errors: The movie's depiction of the Rotunda for the Charters of Freedom (where the Declaration of Independence is displayed at the National Archives) has several inaccuracies, including: the brightness of the room (the room is kept dark to help preserve the documents); the location of the security guards (the movie depicts one standing to the left of the Declaration, whereas they are posted to the left and right side of the Constitution); the absence of two signs identifying the people in the Barry Faulkner murals on the walls; the absence of holes in the walls where some actual security sensors are stored; the race of the security guards (most of the security staff at the National Archives are African-American, yet the movie depicts all of them as white, which is possible but not probable); and the size of the rooms adjacent to the Rotunda. moreQuotes:
[first lines]Young Ben Gates: Grandpa!
John Adams Gates: You're not supposed to be up here, looking at that.

This one gets my vote for the most enjoyable flick of 2004 (together with The Indredibles). You'd think it's just for kiddies, but any adult capable of just going to the cinema to enjoy themselves should be able to sit back, gobble the popcorn, suck the straw, nibble on the ice- cream and just have a couple of hours of unproblematic maniawith good and bad guys, daring thefts, lost treasures, romance, chases, near escapes, disasters and rescues and everything you'd expect in this kind of Bruckheimer production.
The whole thing is paced just right, the villains are just bad enough, and the goodies are nobles with a roguish streak. The cheesy bits are mellowed with a dash of wry humor, and those that aren't: well, just take them, don't cringe and, again, have fun!
I came out of this movie smiling, as did my wife and elder daughter (that would make all of us into definite 'adults'). Since a smile was what we all wanted that day, we got exactly what we asked for.
