Precog Media Review - National Treasure

I haven't seen the yet-to-be-released National Treasure, a new action-adventure film from producer Jerry Bruckheimer starring Nicholas Cage, and doubt that I will, but I have seen ads for it before other features and on TV. Its plot description (from IMDb) follows:

Since childhood, Benjamin Franklin Gates has known that he is decended [sic] from a long line of people whose job is to guard a treasure hidden by the Founding Fathers, who hid clues to its whereabouts in the country's currency and on the back of the Declaration of Independence. Now, he has learned of a plot to steal the Declaration, and has only one option: steal it himself. Even if he pulls off this monumental task, keeping the treasure safe is still going to be incredibly hard, especially since the FBI has also gotten wind of the scheme.

The trailer emphasizes the theft of the Declaration of Independence and subsequent chases (of Gates by the feds, of the treasure by Gates and other Bad Treasure Hunters, etc.)

I don't know whether this is going to be a good movie or not, although it looks pretty stupid from this vantage. I guess the DaVinci Code phenomenon has ignited widespread pop culture interest in stubbornly persistent conspiracy theories (apparently, there's a Masonic/Illuminati angle to this plot, given the prominence of the Great Seal in the poster) and this is part of the result.

I do know one thing, however. A conservative critic, writing in the National Review or Weekly Standard or somewhere like that, will undoubtedly comment on this movie that only people with ultra-liberal, out-of-touch Hollywood values would make a movie about a fabulous national treasure indicated on the Declaration of Independence without realizing that it's on the front of the document, not the back.
