This was a good movie! I'd heard bad things about it, but it was well paced, relatively exciting in an Indiana Jones kind of way, and had the lovely Nic Cage in it. Definitely a great Sunday afternoon movie.

Well it was an "okay" movie for me. It was funny and that saved it. It's also a very nice family movie. My only problem is the establishment of how delicate the Declaration document is then the over the course of the movie it should have ripped apart 10x over by their handling. But that's just a quirk of mine. The saving grace for this movie was the sidekick and his humor and faces. That saved what would otherwise be a kind of cheesy adventure movie. Suspend reality and enjoy!

mssilhouette, i thought the SAME THING! but i just sat back and enjoyed it. my 14 year old daughter LOVED IT. so we had to see it again two days later. when you just don't think about some of the details, you can have a fine time. it's not an oscar winner that's for sure. but for a thanksgiving movie with the family, i call it a winner.

We saw it last week and enjoyed it too. It was a fun movie. Though I agree Mssilhouette about the Declaration. Everytime they showe it being flung and bounced around I was jumping in my seat, lol.

I liked it. It was nice to have a family movie that my two youngest could see with us! (without it being about teeny-bopper girls or being animated) We all enjoyed it (ages 8 and up).

I liked it too, and I didn't expect to. My youngest child enjoyed it with me and that was fun. I liked the historical references, and the end made your jaw drop looking at the size of that room.

I enjoyed it, too. Stealing that document is a little implausible, but hey...it's a nice escapist movie, and Diane Kruger is becoming a big favorite of mine, so I give it a thumbs up. The alternate ending on the DVD was interesting, and the director said he got the wrong reaction from movie-goers, and you can see why as it looks like they are setting up a sequel. Ah well...

My sister and I spent some time last night first getting the Secret code after watching all the special features (Actually, fast forwarding them :P) Then we played Riley's Decode this...which was much easier than expected... We were SOOOOO disappointed, that for all the time spent, all we got was a Trivia track to play with the movie. Has anyone else gone through the DVD??

Good family film, although I am just so sick of every single movie needing to throw in a love/romance plot. This movie really didn't need one in my opinion...(ah, what do I know...my brother says perhaps I am just bitter over love at the moment.....)

I thought this was just an all-around fun movie to watch. Our family all thought it was great. It reminded me a lot of the Indiana Jones movies or even a bit like some of the James Bond's. We liked the way they threw a lot of humor into it. As long as you didn't try to question certain things, you could just sit back and enjoy.

We just watched this in two parts over the past couple weekends. It was fun romp - had an enjoyable cast who gave some entertaining & likable performances, a wonderfully tantalizing premise, and some great locales. Glad I finally saw it even though I was a tad skeptical due to the poor reviews it got while in theaters. But everyone I knew who had seen it really recommended it so we decided to take a chance. The frustrating thing is...it had the potential to be a lot better movie than it turned out to be. My favorite line was "People don't talk like that anymore." said by Nicholas Cage as he read aloud some of the Declaration. Someone told me they're making a (surprise!) sequel.

You know, I like this movie. It was adventurous and fun. There was no gore, no sex, no bad language, and Nic Cage did the role proud. I loved his sidekick Riley. He was funny, full of quips. Who is that girl? She was pretty. Not only that, but this movie taught you a bit about history that I didn't know before. I'd see the sequel.
