JohnC Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 There was mention of this in the D+ thread a while back. AFAIK, it's not any kind of reboot or anything, but exists alongside the movies. Chance of Cage making a guest appearance? The main character is a 20 year old a Hispanic Latina-American played by Lisette Alexis. A DREAMer exploring mysterious family history. Now Catherine Zeta-Jones has signed on as another main character, a billionaire black-market antiquities expert and treasure hunter. https://deadline.com/2022/02/catherine-zeta-jones-star-national-treasure-disney-plus-series-1234927537/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Kelsten Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I really like both. Guilty pleasures, nothing amazing. Some really dumb plot points, but good fun regardless. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good characters and the music stands out too. I agree the first is better than the second but I do enjoy both. Nic Cage is great in them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kelsten Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Yeah Nicholas Cage is great in both. He’s still in that Con Air/the Rock stage of his acting, not his “I’m fucking mental, me” stage, though there are flashes of it in both National Treasure films.

iknowgungfu Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Guilty pleasures are the best way to think of them. Switch brain off, heat popcorn and sit back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revlob Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I think the films are massively underrated. The first is a real treat, the kind of adventure film I wish we got more of. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kelsten Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 The one plot point that always pissed me off: Spoiler Nicholas Cage kidnaps the President to get the location of some book, despite the President being very open to chatting about that stuff and happily giving him the location anyway. So why didn’t he just try asking the president instead of kidnapping him? Fucking dummy. And then similarly, the President is quite happy to let him go but tells him he’ll be a wanted man or whatever - why couldn’t the president just tell secret service they’d got stuck and Ben had helped find a way out? The whole thing would have been a non-issue. He’s a fucking dummy, too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McFly Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Really liked the first one, don't remember much of the second however. Excellent family films for Saturday or Sunday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarhkFox Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I think both (especially the first) are underrated classics. They are massively rewatchable - and have a good cast that have great chemistry with each other. I know the third movie was a go ahead again but i can't seem to find out about it's progress. Hoping the TV series is good but i'm not sure if they will be aiming for the same audience? I hope so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Made it through the first episode despite almost quitting right at the start when some goon said "no one metheth with thalathar".. with all the menace of Keith Chegwin. But I bailed in the second episode when the lead's friend, who was already incredibly annoying whips out the laptop to do some hacking* ... nah, this is proper shite. Don't waste your fucking time. * Spoiler She doesn't do any hacking, because she appears to get hacked herself straight away, but that's not the point. And I did not care to watch any further.

gone fishin Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Yeah, the fact this just popped up on Disney+ with absolutely zero fanfare (considering the first two were pretty big films), plus having been burned by Willow, it just made me think this was going to be shite. You can sort of see why the CEO was fired, Disney seem to have a knack of taking potential franchise fodder and throwing it down the toilet when making Disney+ content. (Pity, as The Wonder Years, The Santa Clause and Home Alone extended universes should have been amazing). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klargon Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 For some reason, I keep watching this. It’s absolutely terrible. The writing and acting are both dreadful. There’s a ludicrous VR bit in episode 6. Stay away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
