Indiana Jones Lite
A good, solid family watch, but if you’re expecting Nicholas Cage to replace Harrison Ford, don’t bother.
Pretty good…
Very cool, Lots of action, Great for kids 10-100!
National Treasure kept my attention. Plenty of action. My 10 year old was able to follow the storyline (A plus for those of us with kids to entertain). I thought this movie was very catchy, fun, and even interesting as far as the historical settings and info that were portrayed. All in all a fun film.
Story idea was interesting, but…
the characters were typical - good vs. bad and at the end the guy gets the girl. I also felt like there was a bit of DaVinci code rip-off going on - hopefully when that is made into a movie it’ll be much better than this.
A lovable big kid’s adventure gets in touch with the 11 year old in us all!
