The Last Templar Audience Reviews 196f4j

Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
ManiakJiggy This is How Movies Should Be Made
Benas Mcloughlin Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Mæzz Tjavs right after watching the ending I was so angry that I went online to find the names of the people who did this crap and to write them some truths,,After reading the reviews on here, I calmed down. Yes, this movie is soo bad and it's so obvious apparently, that they MUST know and be ashamed of it. Instead of bashing it(i think there's lots of accurate reviews here that spells it all out)I would say that this was so bad and ridiculous, that it actually was fun to watch at times. And, Mira Sorvino is hot, probably the main reason I saw the whole thing. I give it two out of ten. One for Mira Sorvino and one for her sweet behind.
jaybeekraft-esq This movie is so uneven that it is hard to believe it is the work of one writer. After an interesting and exciting start with the daring robbery of a Vatican exhibit at a Manhattan museum by knights on horseback dressed as Templars, stealing treasures including (guess what) a Templar decoding machine. This part of the movie is a decent heist / caper movie, and it's hard to dislike Mira Scorvino in anything. Tess is a likable, plucky female (rich) archaeologist and single mom, who gave up her life of adventurous excavations to stay home and take care of her daughter as her dad never had. Scenes with homages to the "Indiana Jones / Tomb Raider" genre abound. Of course, our robbers made a fatal mistake by stealing a key discovery of her late father of the "Cross of Constantine".Interspersed are somewhat confusing and garbled flashbacks that look like blurred outtakes from "Kingdom of Heaven", which basically serve to distract one from the uneven scenes and obscure the pretense of a plot. We have in this movie unscrupulous archeologists, evil minions of the Vatican dedicated to assuring the truth stays buried, and cameos by the CIA, the FBI, and the NYPD. Scenes and dialog almost seem lifted at points from "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade", and absolutely miraculous coincidences and discoveries abound. Then we have the "recovery of the Titanic" portion of the movie, or is it "The Perfect Storm". I could talk about how sad this movie comes in the really wasted role of Omar Sharif as a Christian holy man on a Greek (?) island who rescues Tess and her FBI guy. The parallels between the ending of this movie on the cliff and parallel to "The Last Crusade" where the Templars' fake "Gospel of Yeshua" blows away in the wind. They treat ancient technology (an astrolabe) like it was a modern GPS.Worth watching for a laugh.
Claudio Carvalho In New York, during the opening of the exposition of the Treasures of the Vatican for the public, four criminals posing as Templar knights break in the museum riding horses and heist the valuable artifacts. The archaeologist Dr. Tess Chaykin (Mira Sorvino) steals the horse of a policeman and chases and captures one thief with Red Cross of Constantine. The FBI Agent Sean Daley (Scott Foley) teams up with Tess that learns that the criminals' prime intention is a decoder mechanical device that can provide the location of the Templar treasure. They travel to Turkey where Tess expects to find the treasure and discover a conspiracy of the Church to keep classified information in secret to protect the Catholic Church.Yesterday I saw "The Last Templar" on a DVD just released in Brazil and I did not know that this is a mini-series. The DVD has 171 minutes running time; therefore the original series was edited and 69 minutes are missing. The edited film is too long and boring, without the suitable pace of an action movie, but it would be unfair to criticize this aspect since it is not the work of the director but the producer. The romantic corny conclusion is awful. I am a big fan of Mira Sorvino and the shape of this gorgeous actress is amazing and she does not look to be a forty-three year-old woman. The lame screenplay is dreadful, with ridiculous situation such as: (1) Tess cries to the thief in the heist to return the Constantine Cross that does not belong to him; (2) Tess investigates the case with several murders by herself, holding information that might have helped the official investigation, and is released by FBI; (3) The Catholic agent does not drink coffee in the Lent, but he shags a woman that he has just known; (4) The experienced archaeologist Tess drives reckless on the streets to show off to Sean; (5) A city buried by a volcano has light and only dust inside the building; (6) In a perfect storm with a huge wave, the perfect attitude is to jump overboard. There are many other silly and stupid situations that make the film a comedy, and not a suspenseful adventure. My vote is four.Title (Brazil): "O Último Templário" ("The Last Templar")
ozgur-27 Sory but this film is suck....Especially the part about Turkey. Bodrum was shot like some town from the 3rd world, without even knowing the fact that every single person in Bodrum can speak English and I have never ever seen Bodrum like in the film! However Bodrum like Ibiza or something like that. But in the movie, Bodrum like Afghaninstan or Iraq. Thats not true. Also the movies and production, directing and acting are strictly amateurish.Stop wasting our time with this crap, NBC... maybe you wouldn't have to keep pumping this stupid stuff out if you didn't cancel good shows like Journeyman or My Own Worst Enemy. All you have left is Heroes, and that can't compete with 24 or House... NBC's golden years died with the ending of Friends and Seinfeld. Don't bother to watch it for anything other than the news.
