The Last Templar

Overall I found this movie to be moderately entertaining. I'm not going to regain my Christian upbringing as a result, I'm certainly not going to hail this mini-series as the unopposed champion of religious conspiracy speculations, but I will say its definitely worth a watch if your not too up your own arse to just take it for what it is: a middle of the road romantic drama with some action thrown in! This is the first time I have noticed Mira Sorvino before, although she does look quite familiar. She certainly does a decent job in terms of playing her role: a ninja archaeologist with a passion for her work and the ability to take on 3 men at once in open combat and come out on top.

Watch it if you have exhausted your usual avenues of viewing, it may well surprise you!

The writing is a bit amateurish. Several scenes were just hard to accept. The opening scene ends with Mira Sorvino (in heels and mini skirt) jousting in Central Park to stop a medieval knight turned thief. In another scene Sorvino's character goes from old church tunnel to popping out of a manhole cover in mid Manhattan. The romance was clumsy and the ending unsatisfyingly predictable and sappy. Sorvino's acting was fine given the poor script she was burdened with. She is very believable as a smart academician who knows more than most about ancient artifacts. But the romantic relationship was just awkward and uninspiring. It looked like it came from a script a 15 year old boy wrote.

The story line isn't so bad, but just about everything else in this TV flick is. Uninspired acting, stereotypical characters and sophomoric writing all wrapped up in a series of trite clichés. You also get mediocre sound and lighting plus capricious editing at no extra charge along with memorable lines like, "I don't know what to believe anymore" and "Mom, you've always told me to follow my dreams".

The main characters, Mira Sorvino and Scott Foley, which you expect to develop some sexual tension never really connect. The dialog between them seem to be mostly flippant one liners and stock "detective speak" plucked from rejected episodes of CSI. You wonder why some of the other characters, like Anthony Lemke are even part of the story. They just seem extraneous.

The promos lured me in and I suffered through the first night, but will skip the finale.

I cant believe it .What should i say ; Bodrum is shown like an arabic town.Bodrum has huge forests cover it like a green carpet.But they shown big deserts in movie ?? Bodrum has a mountainous area with perfect beaches.They show great flat lands with dust?? Also they show like poor arabic town(you can probably see in Africa). You can only compare bodrum with ibiza or other holiday towns ( including bars ,night clubs,restaurants,hotels,blue flagged beaches,etc). İts impossible to compare Bodrum in the movie and the bodrum in the real world. Are the producers liers,or fools or do they have political and economical interests about Bodrum or Turkey?? This movie has huge geographical ,archeological ,and cultural mistakes. Finally Bodrum is a touristic holiday paradise.Enjoy....

http://www.discoverbodrum.com/Eng/index.html , Bodrum is not a city from Aphganistan. We don't use camel to travel. Turkey has not deserts like sahara. We are not wearing like Arab's because we are TURK's . It is just a dream from a child I thing. If you want to make a serious movie you should do your job serious. Bodrum is a most popular holiday place and there ara so many hotels which is 5 star and Bodrum is a high education city of Turkey. You can find so many people who speaks foreign languages. If you were wrote another city name from Iraq, or Aphganistan your movie had a chance . but you haven't used your chance. I am not sorry ;)
