Mmm, my dad saw Sweeney Todd and didn't like it (too bloody). National Treasure... I saw the first one on DVD, and there were too many plot holes. That ship wouldn't have survived a week in that ice. Ice crushes wood like a toothpick. You should've seen what happened to our dock when I was kid.
Lol, yeah the plot holes in the first movie were pretty terrible. And there are a number of them in the second one as well. But I don't even know what's out in theaters at the moment, I typically just get a random phone call from a friend with instructions on where and when to meet her for which ever movie she wants to go see.
Though if you decide to rent a movie instead, I'd recommend Eastern Promises. It has plot (with very few holes to poke at), action, drama, sprinklings of romance, and involves some fairly accurte history (but only mildly).
Late reply, but yeah, UNBELIEVABLY bloody. I like zombie movies and good horror flicks, but ST made me sick to my stomach. The level of violence was frankly dehumanizing.
Too bad, really, because the acting and singing were excellent. I think it's the first role in which I've ever liked Helena Bonham Carter's one stock character (creepy woman with crazy hair).
