A vulgar drama without suspense

At first, it was aimed at the golden combination of Jerry Burckheimer + Nicolas Cage. The result was very disappointing. After watching it for more than ten minutes, I started to be in a daze. The narrative is too simplistic, and the plot is ridiculously stupid. Impatiently entering the plot without making any meticulous foreshadowing, and then using excessive high-tech theft methods, fleeing, chasing and killing, beauties... It is too much, too much, there is no exciting at all, and it consumes my patience. . Terrible writing and editing makes it sound like a boring guy talking about great, great, you want to know what's going to happen next - boring, bad joke
Well, if you have to make a comparison, "The Da Vinci" Password is much prettier than it is.

    The first part was very good, and then I mistakenly expected the second part

    In the early years, Nicolas Cage's acting skills were guaranteed at the box office. Even if the story is cliché, it's still pretty good.

National Treasure quotes

  • Riley Poole: [leaving Abigail's office after unsuccessfully trying to convince her about potential theft the Declaration of Independence] If it's any consolation, you had me convinced.

    Ben Gates: It's not.

    Riley Poole: I was thinking, what if we go public, plaster the story all over the internet? It's not like we have our reputations to worry about. Although, I don't think that's exactly gonna scare Ian away.

    Ben Gates: [standing in front of the Declaration of Independence] 180 years of searching, and I'm three feet away. Of all the words written here about freedom, there's a line here that's at the heart of all the others. "But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and provide new Guards for their future security."

    [pause]

    Ben Gates: People don't talk that way anymore.

    Riley Poole: Beautiful, huh? I have no idea what you said.

    Ben Gates: It means if there's something something wrong, those who have the ability to take action have the responsibility to take action.

    [pause]

    Ben Gates: I'm gonna steal it.

    Riley Poole: [laughs] What?

    Ben Gates: I'm gonna steal the Declaration of Independence.

    [walks away]

    Riley Poole: [laughs, then follows Ben] Uh, Ben?
