(1 - 39) of 39 OFCS Rating: 37% Rotten Page   1   C "As vanilla a filmmaker as they make 'em, Turteltaub's filmography doesn't exactly inspire the greatest confidence that he can handle a monster-budgeted action/adventure."   FilmJerk.com   Brian Orndorf 2/5 "Keep this one buried."   eFilmCritic.com   Dan Lybarger 3/5 "As realism, Turtletaub's movie flops. As escapism, though, grab the popcorn, kick your feet up, and have a blast."   eFilmCritic.com   David Cornelius A- "It might feel like a Dan Brown bestseller. But Americans have an appetite for historical mysteries… and capitalizing on that appetite is about as American as you can get."   EDGE Boston   David Foucher 3/4 "Few can argue that the movie is totally unbelievable, but if one is able to leave all sense of logic at the door, it's very hard not to have a darn good time in the process."   Cinemaphile.org   David Keyes 2.5/4 "As a family-friendly adventure, the film undoubtedly excels - though it's clear the movie could've used a little less adventure and a little more sleuthing."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 2/4 "This is one screenplay that would have excelled had all the dialogue been excised or retooled."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman B- "It's fun and occasionally amusing and it didn't give me a headache. That's not the sort of endorsement that gets you quoted in the ads, but it's the best I can muster."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 1.5/4 "We’re left with three Oscar nominees, the retard from Gigli and the broad who launched a thousand ships in Troy being pursued by the FBI and logic bringing up the rear."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress C- "One scavenger hunt that's definitely not worth playing...it has more climaxes than a porno movie."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 1.5/4 "This infantile excuse for an adventure yarn plays more like a triple-cross between The DaVinci Code, CSI, and The Amazing Race than Raiders of the Lost Ark."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 2.5/4 "a passably enjoyable adventure romp"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 5/10 "I'm convinced someone wasn't paying attention when the project received a greenlight, so the filmmakers should feel pleased that their movie turned out as passable as it did."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Jeffrey Chen 7/10 "The film plays on every cliché and every stereotype imaginable, and part of its charm is playing them exactly to an audience's happiest expectations."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 5/10 "It’s that kind of careful attention to detail that makes something like The Goonies more thrilling and easier to accept than this."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick 4/5 "Imagine eating your favorite sub sandwich; you know exactly what it will taste like, but it's just what you wanted: simple, tasty and satisfying."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 2.5/4.0 "... a semi-historical mystery-thriller... too many chases and clichés keep this good movie from being great."   MovieCrypt.com   Kevin A. Ranson 3/5 "The film is far from perfect, but what do you expect from the director of 3 Ninjas."   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr 2/5 "A silly, stupendously artificial enterprise."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 2.5/4 "That the movie manages to maintain interest and gain occasional involvement is somewhat of a feat considering, although not enough of a feat for it to succeed."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik "This is spreadsheet filmmaking, soulless and overly designed for maximum box-office effect..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 1.5/4 "One of the funniest movies of the year. Too bad it's not a comedy."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan C "When the effects seem more real than the characters, the quest, and, especially, the jokes, even an overstuffed movie like this one just feels empty. "   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 1.5/4 "A cornucopia of ridiculously over-the-top action, humor, and romance conceived in the Bruckheimer tradition."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 3/5 "About as edgy as a child-friendly TV movie.... And despite being at least a half hour too long, it's great fun while it lasts."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline C "A dumb movie National Treasure remains, but only the unkindest heart could call it bad."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux C "It is harmless fun, but it could have been done a lot better."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten C "On the heals of the very popular adventure novel, The Da Vinci Code (by Dan Brown), “National Treasure” takes many elements of that book (intentional or not, you decide)"   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 2.5/5 "Safe, simplistic and stylistically inert film fodder meant only for the least discerning multiplex zombies."   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg D "Hop-scotches up the Eastern seaboard with no real zeal, detouring at historic landmarks like a tour bus on steroids."   Eclipse Magazine   Sean O'Connell "As documents go, this one tastes like cardboard."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek B- "Works fairly well as slick, enjoyable hooey… in its general approach if not all particulars, this could represent a promising new approach in family entertainment."   Decent Films Guide   Steven D. Greydanus 8/10 "A rip-roaring, high-spirited American adventure, it's one of the best scavenger hunts to come along in ages!"   Modamag.com   Susan Granger 2.5/4 "A serviceably entertaining but ultimately forgettable bit of escapism."   Reel.com   Timothy Knight 1.5/4 "All it is, really, is astonishingly boring, terribly stupid, and, it bears repeating, boring. It's boring. (Also stupid.)"   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw 3/4 "The historical touches make the film more akin to classics like "Raiders of the Lost Ark" than to duds like "Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins (and ended simultaneously)"."   Oscar Guy   Wesley Lovell 0/10 Read review   Movie Gazette   Anton Bitel 1/4 Read review   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito Read review   3BlackChicks Review   Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel  (1 - 39) of 39 OFCS Rating: 37% Rotten Page   1
