KurtGodel77 Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 I liked National Treasure a lot. It was exciting in the style of a Dan Brown book. In answer to T-Bone's criticisms of the movie; how does he know how a document would or wouldn't respond to a specific treatment? Yes it's an old document, but keep in mind it's been very carefully preserved for many decades. @ T-bone: You said, "And what laws did Ian break that Gates didn't" Attempted murder. Your point about the cash-starved situation of the newly created U.S. is valid, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnTheRocks Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 My wife and I saw National Treasure this weekend.I told her it was about a guy named "ICE" but I was mistaken. 137872[/snapback] this is the epitomy of LAMPost. But I don't care. I think it is funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the cops were there waiting for them, they hightail it to Gates' father's house (who just happens to have a big old bowl of lemons waiting for them in the refrigator, waiting for a son he has not spoken to in ten years) and decide what the hey lets use heat and lemon juice. So it goes from being a fragile document that needs a special environment to examine it in to something that gets battered around the rest of the movie...Yeah really makes sense there... And exactly who did Ian try to kill, and why did the FBI agent just decided to ignore all the laws that Gates broke and just bust Ian? A lawyer would have that case tossed out of court and Harvey Kietel would be working with Mudler and Scully in the X-Files if he did not get fired for incompetence. Dan Brown's book, the Da Vinci Code, was just as bad...History Channel just ran a special totally de bunking everything in that book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
