<shrug>.  It's a mostly-mindless action movie.  Fun, mostly.  Less
violent than normal for an action movie -- not many people get hurt
on-screen.  Its premise was flimsy: the movie's premise is "we need to
do X in order to disprove Y", but X and Y are not mutually exclusive.
Various characters leap to ridiculous conclusions, and then take
preposterous risks based thereon.  Lots of cliches.  Mostly stock
characters.  And it was weaker than the first National Treasure movie,
which wasn't exactly Masterpiece Theater.

IMDB gives is a 6.8, which is a little higher than I think it
deserves.

Summary: not a particularly good movie, but not HL: The Source,
either.
