I read the New York Post review by critic Kyle Smith. Writing as the “voice” of Nicolas Cage, this review is as entertaining as the movie itself.  This must be the first movie review I’ve ever laughed out loud at.

An excerpt:

THIS is Nicolas CAGE. Remember when I used to make quiet movies for smart people? Things have CHANGED.  National Treasure: Book of Secrets” is my latest LOUD movie for IDIOTS. It’s another flick about maps, landmarks and buried treasure that makes “The Da Vinci Code” look like TOLSTOY.  And yes, I do continue to develop my HABIT of suddenly YELLING in the middle of a sentence.
