Templar Nation (2013)
Do not waste your time, as I did with mine...
I usually like these kinds of films which plays on the mysteries surrounding the knights templar. I also like to think that I tend to accept many fallacies in films, as long as the concept and the movies as a whole is good. This movie, however, is horrible. I am sorry, but it really is. The plot is idiotic, where it is really hard to accept the arguments presented as the movie progresses. The acting is stiff and ill-performed by mediocre actors at best.
I watched the whole movie just because I love the knights templar and I wanted to know what the treasure at the end would turn out to be. BIG mistake, I want my time wasted back. Most stupid ending in a long time.
If you still choose to watch this movie after reading my review, do so at your own peril.
The Last Templar (2009)
Good screen version
Just a short comment on this screen adaption of The Last Templar.
I find it very nicely adapted comparing it with the book. I've watched a lot of other attempts on adapting different books to mini series, and this one is among the better IMO.
I.E, The Wizards First Rule, by Terry Goodkind had been entirely converted when it became a mini series. It is not in the same genre, but I like to mention it as an example on Screen Adaption.
Most people that have read his books are very disappointed in how the plot turned out. The writers have not sticked with the original plot at all (nearly) and have begun a whole another story than in the books.
In this screen version they follow the original plot nicely and the actors are not too bad. I really like it and recommend it warmly. Do not know why other people rant at it , but I certainly do not agree.
