Trivia:
EASTER EGG: To see some hidden special features on the R2 DVD navigate to the logbook in the upper right corner of the main menu and press select to enter, then enter the code 405 and select the 'master code' for a list of all the special features available (some are otherwise only available in several hidden menus that must be found through mini-games on each menu). more
Goofs:
Factual errors: When the characters go underground, Ben pulls a torch off of the wall and lights it, and it burns instantly and brightly. Also when the heroes find the treasure room, a 'river of fire is lit'. There is no substance the 18th century colonials would have had access to which could have both produced instant flames of that kind *and* had it's potency last for 200+ years. more
Quotes:

Young Ben Gates: Grandpa!
John Adams Gates: You're not supposed to be up here, looking at that.

Excellent movie vastly underrated by critics, 15 December 2004
8/10
Author: peter0105 from Philippines

I went to see four movies this week (Birth, Incredible, Bridget, and this one, National Treasure).

I went to see National Treasure last because it got the worst rating by critics.

It turned out to be the best of four.

An excellent movie, packed with suspense, good acting, plot, from beginning to end.

Two thumbs down for critics. They missed this one just like they did for Riddick.

I heartedly recommend it to anyone.
