What's with critics giving Blade Trinity and National Treasure such low-end scores... Just look at Rotten Tomatoes Dot Com.

Uh, I don't know, I could be wrong, but could it be because those are BAD movies?

And Shimraa, were you joking, or it's serious?

I'll admit that I've not seen Blade Trinity and it may well suck.

But National Treasure definitely isn't a bad movie. Critics are so out-of-touch sometimes it's pathetic.

Actually, I would classify National Treasure as a 'good' bad movie. What I mean by that is, you see everything coming a mile away, but at the same time, so do the makers of the movie and they let you in on the joke. It's unashamed to be derivative, and therein lies its charm.

Jerry Bruckheimer is not usually known for quality in films. However, that is a completely different story with his TV shows. When you watch a Bruckheimer flick, it's usually just thrills, chills, and visual effects. No high quality acting, emotion, or writing is typically involved in his movies. I can't think of too many Bruckheimer films that have high quality acting, emotion, and writing to be honest.

The only exceptions I can come up with are Pirates of the Caribbean (and even that still wasn't 100% in the acting category - Orlando Bloom leaves a lot to be desired), Veronica Guerin, and Black Hawk Down. And both were recognized very highly for how well done they were.

Now let's look at the rest of his history...

American Gigolo, Flashdance, Beverly Hills Cop, Top Gun, Beverly Hills Cop 2, Days of Thunder (hack), The Ref, Bad Boys, Crimson Tide, Dangerous Minds (not too bad), The Rock, Con Air, Armageddon, Enemy of the State, Gone in 60 Seconds, Coyote Ugly, Remember the Titans, Pearl Harbor, Bad Company, Kangaroo Jack, Bad Boys II, and King Arthur.

Some were okay when they came out but haven't held up well over the years. Most were forgettable and some were downright terrible. When you have a track record like that, expect critics to walk in with extreme caution. I usually do.

Bruckheimer is a flash and bang producer who hires directors he knows he can work with and get the desired end product which is popcorn fluff summer blockbuster fare. I give him credit, though, for taking a chance with Guerin and also working with Ridley Scott on Black Hawk Down. Scott can be notoriously difficult to work with so I'm sure Bruckheimer kinda backed down on trying to lord over him. But, then again, he already had an in with Scott since he's worked with Ridley's brother, Tony, so many times (Top Gun, Crimson Tide, Beverly Hills Cop II, Days of Thunder, and Enemy of the State).

I'll agree with you on Bloom. I hope how soon his last fan forgets about him.

National Treasure doesn't really do anything new, but it does what it sets out to do--and that is make you forget about the crap you have to deal with in real life for 2 hours. Not every movie has to have oscar-worthy acting or a tear jerking plot. Besides, many portions of NT were laugh out loud funny. Which allways ups it's score IMO.

And it's still a million times better than oh, say, Alexander? I bet Oliver Stone is choking on his "you make movies; I make films" comment to Quentin Tarantino a few years back. What a piece of shite.

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.
