Re: National Treasure...

Wow sahara, I haven't seen that yet, any good? I have seen National Treasure btw, not just here to change topic. NT was alright, bit like Indiana Jones in a way.

Re: National Treasure...

sahara was a bit like indie, but in spirit. all the best things about indie (the adventure, one liners, incredible luck). Matthew macconnahey was fantastic, as were his side kicks. dlroy lindo put in a guest spot and william h masey was as always a pleasure to watch. it was silly and ridiculous and funny. it captured my attention and immagination. i would watch it again, and let my kids watch it. i know they'd love it. i will buy the DVD!
(which i very seldom will do as i've better uses for £15)

Re: National Treasure...

I watched Sahara with half my attention due to people constantly coming in and out of my apartment. But from what I could tell and understand, National Treasure seemed to be like the better story. I do like MacConnahey much better than Cage, but I like Diane Kruger much better than Penelope Cruz. Nevertheless, the story just appealed to me far more than that of Sahara. I've seen NT twice, the 2nd time on dvd with all the special features.

Re: National Treasure...

to each his own. the stories were similar, although when the knights templar are involved i like them taking over the world. but with bothseemed concerned with proving to the world that america does have history and intersting ones at that. NT was a bit to been there done that for my taste.

Re: National Treasure...

I enjoyed it but it could have been done much better. They could have avoided the silly exploding ship by doing something else, they could have expanded upon the story a bit too.

Kelpie is right though, if you want a nasty Englishman, Sean Bean is the man for the job. He's got the sneer down perfectly!

Re: National Treasure...

I wasn't overly impressed with this movie. I had hoped it would be good, but despite it having some good special effects and a slightly interesting story, the poor actors were given poor material and it felt flat

Re: National Treasure...

to me as well National Treasure struck me the same as U-571.

Hollywood trying to rewrite history.

Diane Kruger is hot in this film more so than in the "other" movie. Certainly saved the film in my opinion.
