Goofs:

Factual errors: In the Library of Congress, there were two mistakes. 1. Many governmental dignitaries frequent there, yet Ben openly discussed his plans for stealing the Declaration of Independence, and even said when and how it would be done. 2. Anything more than a whisper is disciplined by library officials anywhere. So, they would have been dealt with instead of ignored. more

Young Ben Gates: Grandpa!

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.
