A new "National Treasure" thread

Aerich · 12-01-2004, 04:47 AM

Because I didn't feel like resurrecting the other one, in which the last post was before the movie hit the theatres.

I saw it tonight, and I thought it was decent. Halfway clever, rather cheesy script, and reasonably well acted. The whole is more than the sum of the parts. ::groan::

Sean Bean was excellent; he had a much greater role here than he had in Troy or LotR. Nic Cage was suitable as well. It also doesn't hurt that Diane Kruger (Troy) is HOT, HOT, HOT. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Agreed all around Aerich. It's just a good fun movie.

Which one's Sean Bean? Funny guy who can't drive a stick?

Aerich · 12-01-2004, 01:38 PM

Sean Bean was the lead bad guy with the cool accent. Also recognizable as Boromir from LotR and Odysseus from Troy; not that he was really more than an afterthought in either movie.

Ah I know who you're talking about now. He had a good presence as Boromir, but I don't recall Odysseus in Troy.

By the way, I liked the funny sidekick guy. Reminds me of Mo Rocca.

Well I was thinking of going to this movie on Saturday. But not to sure if I want to take out a loan just to see this movie. Looks like I will have to flip a coin to decide.

That's why we use Air Miles.

I really liked this movie.
It was good for a change, not constant killing and blood, not boring either. Comic relief was well placed, and wasn't overdone, while i'm no that subject, did the comic relief in LOTR annoy anyone? personally i hated it.
anyway back on topic, I liked this movie, not spectacular, but still pretty good.

YeRFDoG · 12-02-2004, 09:19 AM

I liked it also. Thought there was some cheesy or "hollywoody" moments which wre a bit irritating but overall was pretty good.

Luvian · 12-02-2004, 09:44 PM

I'm just coming back from seeing it.

I liked it, it wasn't too exaggerated.
