    YouHeart I gave it a 7.5 out of 10
    GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.
    KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
    Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
    David M First let me say I do so hope they find something!, I really do. That being said,, this show has spawned a new drinking game: Every time the announcer says "Could it be?" you take a drink. Every time the announcer says "Rick and Marty Lagina" you take a drink.
    beachbum-38853 Expectations dictate whether you like this show. As for me, I love it, because it's like working next to the crew and discoveries show up only after methodical searching and exploration. That's what you get here. The science involved, the methodology, the technology used, the respect for previous hunters and involvement of so many people is great to watch. And each new discovery builds to an as yet conclusion. I hope Season 5 is picked up.
    unstableindustrialeffluents Speculation after speculation and some more speculation plus more speculation sums The Curse of "Oak Island" The most recent episode aired on the 2nd week of Jan... I was looking forward to seeing some excavation, as that's the only remarkable thing in this halfwit show. After the conspiracy theories, speculations and gruelling boring conferences, a total of 1 minute spread-out over 45 minutes of excavation is shown! Believing treasure buried 100ft+ past bedrock hundreds of years ago is mind blowing retarded! Just as stupid as finding wood buried deep underground on an island millions of years old name after a tree then speculating some ancient civilization placed it there..
    zman-42604 I hope Marty and Rick find something substantial on Oak Island. Why? Because I love the kind of history that garners intrigue, exposes us to mystery and keeps us going with an interesting story.While there are great mysteries on this show, the story, i.e., the redundant episodes, are painful. It appears that little new is being found that proves a treasure awaits, evidenced by painfully redundant cut scenes and hopeful, intent-driven dialogue that I've heard episode after episode. ("I think this is GOTTA be the money pit," for example.)I've reached the conclusion that the desperate Lagina brothers will never find any substantial treasure on this island no matter how many holes they drill and how many millions they or their investors spend.. It reminds me of Geraldo's hyped up coverage of the opening of Al Capone's vault; the show was built up to a fever pitch only to reveal a barren vault. In the same spirit, viewing this program episode after episode is disappointing, but somehow I cannot resist wanting to hear the latest in their adventure because I do wish them well.With sincere respect to Rick, it's pretty hard to watch his desperation that Marty calls "optimism." It reminds me of the countless fortune-seekers with big dreams who journeyed arduously to the west during the Gold Rush with the intent to strike it rich, only to leave penniless with dreams dashed.I agree that this program could have been done in a single season, which would have left room for the great historical vignettes and eliminated the redundancies.In summary, it's just another 'Finding Escobar's Millions,' 'Hunting Hilter' et al where we watch some passionate investigators try to convince us episode after episode how close they are to finding what they're seeking. Clickbait for television, folks. After countless wasted hours watching, I've had my fill of these programs. Shame on you, History Channel, for jumping on the "investigative circle-jerk" wagon.
