Movie Review: National Treasure

I figured I should do a more complete review of National Treasure. First, the movie is rated PG, which is even lower than Star Wars: ROTS, so it was quite chaste. There a comedic sidekick who was obviously described to the casting agent as the poor man's Seth Green, although it doesn't seem like Seth Green should have been *that* expensive... Please note, you cannot ask any continuity/logic questions; it just ruins the movie.

Number of galas that are a cover for a robbery: 1 (after seeing so many episodes of Alias that do this, you would think that embassies/museums would wise up)
Things to study up on so you can yell out plot points before they are revealed in the movie: George Washington, Valley Forge, the Liberty Bell, and the Declaration of Independence
Predicatability: Three crystal balls
Minutes before the first giant explosion: 20
Expectations: Men in Black II
Overly optimistic hope: Armageddon/Titanic
Actual: Face/Off
Overall: You're only going to enjoy this if you like saying during movies "Oh no, they're not going to... oh, they did." Probably also excellent without sound on the plane, since you'll definitely be able to figure it out and may even enjoy it more without dialog. Nicolas Cage only half-heartedly chews scenery; full scenery devouring would have made the film more entertaining.
