I Am Legend (Widescreen Single-Disc Edition)
The movie was suspencful, left you wondering what was going to happen next. There was only two things I didn't like: (1)I didn't like what happened to the dog even though he was a hero, (2) the hero, Will Smith character)shouldn't have to die.

I've read a lot of criticism of the National Treasure films; critics couldn't believe the box office take of these movies. And I must admit, I had never been interested in the National Treasure series. I had the impression they were big, dumb movies. But after searching long and hard for a movie my 9-year-old would enjoy I realized these films are PG, don't rely on potty jokes for their humor, don't have gobs of sexual content and don't show kids being bratty and acting superior to every adult in the film. These movies are great for children not old enough to watch PG-13, but who are too old for films like The Tigger Movie. The plots are about educated people trying to do the right thing and are a perfect mix of action, humor and suspense. It was a joy to watch my son watching these movies. They have a VERY broad appeal and I wish studios would make more films like them -- they'd find themselves making money hand over fist.

Ben wants to find this treasure that someone else wants. That's the plot for this film. Lets just say he has to do a lot to get the treasure! I was at first hesitant to watch this movie. I finally decided to give it a try--and it was GREAT! There's tons of action and car chasing that I like to see in movies. The plot is great and the actors are awesome! I really enjoyed watching this movie. I even watched the second one and still liked the first one a little better! That's how good it is. It's also one of the movies where there's hardly any language to it, and hardly any violence. (Guns yes-but no one gets shot) If you haven't seen this movie you've made a mistake and you should see it!

National Treasure is one of the best movies I have ever seen. It is about this treasure that has been passed down from generation to generation by famous people in history, like our Presidents. The movie starts out when Benjamin Franklin Gates was a kid. He is in Washington D.C. in his grandfathers basement. He stumbles into a book about the treasure. Then his grandfather finds him in the basement and he asks him what he is looking at. Ben tells him its about some treasure. By the way, the name of the treasure is The Kinghts of the Templar's treasure. He tells Ben that last signer of the constitution that was alive was about to die, he wanted to tell the President, Andrew Jackson about the treasure but, when he got to the White House President Jackson wasn't there so he told his coach boy Thomas Gates that there is a treasure that is in a secret place and with his dying breath he told that the secret lies with Charlotte. Then Ben's grandfather tells him that treasure existed during egyptian times, During the christian crusades some of the crusaders took the treasure with them. Then it was brought over to America by the Knights of the Templar and During the Revolutionary war the British went looking for the treasure by looking for the clues. The Knights of the Templar in America began to be called Free Masons. People that were Free Masons were Geogre Washington,Thomas Jefferson,Benjamin Franklin,Paul Revere,John Adams, and John Hanncock. Then at the end of the story Ben's grandfather gives him a piece of paper with the clue the secret lies with Charolate on it. Then he tells him to use clue to look for the treasure. Then Ben asks him if he can be a knight like the Templar Knights. His grandfather then knights him. Then his father comes in and tells him to stop listening to his grandfather about the treasure nonsense. His father's name is Patrick and he has been looking for the treasure for years but he has never found it. Then the movie shifts to the Artic to the present where Ben, now and adult, is looking for Charlotte. This movie is great. The bonus featrues are puzzle games,a making of the movie documentary, and bloopers.This is a movie you don't want to miss. I am a History lover so I was interested in this movie and National Treasure (Two-Disc Collector's Edition) made me like History even more.

National Treasure is a fast paced action picture with enough substance to keep non-action fans interested.
Nicolas Cage is great. He wasn't the worlds first choice in action heroes, but he brings intelligence to the role, which NT needs in the star. It's nice to see actors as action heroes, like Cage here or Robert Downey Jr. in Ironman, rather than just movie stars. It was great to see Sean Bean in another major role (he was great as Boromir). He brings credibility to the villain role.
Diane Kruger was fine, save for one scene where her accent went from its normal hard-to-spot to suddenly very thick. Still, her role was potentially unbelievable, and she was up to the task. A lesser actress could have spoiled the film. Join Voigt was fine, as were "the rest".
But the best guy in the film was Justin Bartha, Mr. normal person making the brains look good. He had many of the best lines in the film and should be working more.
NT does a fine job of making a potentially hokey plot work. The science/history is always enough to keep our disbelief firmly suspended, but never enough to make us think we're in a lecture hall. Finally, NT is frequently hilarious. There are more laughs here than in many comedies released this year.
National Treasure is entertaining from beginning to end. Tell your friends.
