Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
angela_dida The book The Last Templars is an amazing book, one of the best books I've read but this mini series is awful, the have changed so many stuff on the book, I understand that you have to take some stuff out to make it as smaller as possible but why change so many and stuff that you don't even need to change like for example why change the cause of death of the 4th Templar's family? I was expecting something better then this, my hopes were really low for this mini series cause they always change stuff from the actual story, but not this low, the actors were pretty good, what i have imagined they would look like, but Tess's character was really different, Tess is a amazing woman, fearless and all this, but in the movie I think they overdid and whats with the shoes?2/10 for the series, 7/10 for the actors, 10/10 for the bookThank you Raymond Khoury and everybody that helped with this book because it was amazing, but who ever wrote the script and who ever came up with these changes, sorry but you suck.
johnslegers If you are familiar with the action/detective/adventure genre we know from classics like the "Indiana Jones" franchise or the franchise built around Dan Brown and perhaps the quite bad "National Treasure" franchise or "Lost City Raiders", there is little "The Last Templar" has to offer. Most of the mini-series I felt like I was watching a poorly acted, poorly researched, poorly scripted, poorly directed extended remake of "The Da Vinci Code" with a little bit of "Indiana Jones" thrown in the mix, that somehow managed to add a pro-Catholic message.At the very start of the mini-series, I just new I was not going to like it. While there's an exposition of ancient Vatican artifacts being held in the middle of New York City, four men fully dressed in medieval Templar outfits are riding their horses through the metropolis, somehow not being stopped by police officers. Then they ride inside the exposition area after first decapitating a guard, steal a whole bunch of artifacts and ride off into the night.The only valid reason I could think of why these guys would wear such an anachronistic outfit to go rob an exposition was if they were actual Templars in their authentic outfits who traveled through time, but this just wasn't that kind of story. The more I hoped for an alternative explanation, the more I got disappointed when it turned out they never even cared to offer one. We were told that one of the artifacts was a Templar artifact and one of the robbers was an expert on Templar history, but that's really all the clues we get on why the robbers came up with the ludicrous idea to use horses and medieval outfits. Did they really expect that anyone with more than two brain cells would find it remotely plausible that four men dressed as Templars and riding on horses rob an exposition of ancient artifacts in the center of New York City?! But let's not stop here. The Indiana Jane of our story (Mira Sorvino, why are do doing this?) runs after the robbers in her cocktail dress and high heels, steals a police horse and ancient pope staff in the process, continues to follow the robbers and then manages to knock one of them out in some park (Central Park?). After being arrested when taking an artifact from the knocked out robber, she's nearly instantly believed by the FBI agent that's put on the case who decides to let her go.This pretty much sets the tone for the rest of the mini-series and the plot never becomes any more credible than in the first few scenes I just described. The foreign locations are hilariously unauthentic, the Templar mythology is childish, the events taking place are too contrived to take seriously and the main characters seem to make all the right decisions while at the same time coming off as incredibly naive. Besides our Indiana Jane's (actually it's Tess Chaykin, but I prefer to call her Indiana Jane) little daughter, none of the important characters seemed remotely believable in what they said or did. I suspect this indicates the mental age of the people involved.While these are already more than enough reasons to think of this as a horrible mini-series, what offset me most was the way they decided to end it. The last part of the mini-series was not only incredibly boring, when something actually happened it was an insult to rationality and an ode to ignorance. Somehow our always rational archaeologist who had put most of her life in service for the search for historical truth and accuracy suddenly became a Christian after being cared for by a religious hermit on some remote Greek island (who for some reason spoke perfect English) and noticing the apparent harmony of the local community. Somehow she must have figured that it was Christianity that made these people so kind and caring and that if she wanted to be just as kind and caring she had to become a Christian. The logical fallacies involved here are just staggering. She ignores the fact that being kind and caring is unrelated to whatever mythology you believe in and that there are Buddhists, Hindus, Wiccans, Asatruar, Shintoists as well as atheists that are just as kind and caring. She ignores the fact that the Catholic Church was involved in mass murder for a significant part of its history and that there was a cardinal having people murdered in order to stop her own quest. She ignores the fact that faith in a primitive anthropomorphic personal deity goes against everything she's ever stood for. etc.What's even more shocking, is that she somehow decides to throw away the gospel of Jeshuah because she apparently thinks it's better it's not known to the world. I guess she didn't want to lose her new-found beliefs if scientific research proved the document to be authentic, but that's pretty much as unscientific as it goes. Not only does this go against everything she's ever stood for, it is probably the worst thing an archaeologist could possible do from a scientific perspective. In fact, it's so anti-scientific and pro-ignorance it's pretty much in line with the attitude of the Spanish inquisition during the days of Galileo, Keppler, Copernicus and Newton... as well the murdering cardinal from the same mini-series."The Last Templar" is a totally unnecessary waste of film that lasts too long to enjoy for its cheesiness and that's too ignorant not to get angry if you have more than two brain cells. Aaargh !
Kat Man This movie is horrible in its acting, plot/story, cinematography, and historical references… As far as the acting goes; the emotionless "Christian" assassin who worked for Monsignor De Angelis had more stage presents than the rest of the cast of characters. Oh, except for maybe the boy who attached the GPS(tracking unit) to the truck at the beginning of the film(and that says something as he had no lines to speak).Story wise: Dr. Tess Chaykin(archaeologist) racing a 2 ton truck thru streets crowed with people for absolutely no reason, while talking about faith vs. evidence made no since at all. Next: both Sean Daley(FBI agent) and Dr. Chaykin just happen to dig in the exact right spot that just so happen to drop down onto the roof top of the one and only building that has a tunnel formed by a random lava flow that lead them(Sean Daley, Dr. Chaykin) directly to what the Templars buried(astrolabe, and letter) in a untouched church. All of which was perfectly lit even thought the whole city was completely covered.The very essence of the plot/movie contradicts itself. It implies at almost every instant that "faith" is justifiable because the fictional Jesus character is real(which further implies that the Christian god is real). Then does a complete 180 and suggest the opposite, and by default proving the all of Christianity is false. Though I will concede that this nonsensically journey of delusions and lies is the pinnacle of the Christian belief system; so at least that was accurate.P.S. And just for clarification; Hypatia, the Greek female philosopher and mathematician was brutally killed by mob of christians, and not pagan Saxons like Bill Vance(the other male archaeologist/Templar) implied.The only thing that this movie had right was the coordinates (36N 31' 26.21, 27E 55' 8.3) to an area of the Mediterranean Sea.Katalyzt
Ermano Arsaunari No wisdom of information I thought the places Hollywood instead of Bodrum.Maybe their budget was low and made the casting at some sort of desert,The name Last Templar is good but the rest is emptiness. Like a black hole in film industry.But such a misinformation is unbelievable. I expected better from the Last Templar. Such Professional_Fakes shouldn't do such things.Bodrum is the place of history,entertainment,fun. A key place to visit with magnificent tastes.We expect better performance and production from film makers in the futureBest Regards
