This movie is horrible, but in a good way. Nicolas Cage is in it. That alone makes it a movie worth watching. The acting is horrible (also NC) and the movie looks rushed. Watch it anyways.

Okay i have seen plently of either bad or just medicroe movies lately but this has to been one of the worst movies i have seen in the last few months. I mean where do i begin it is poorly paced, badly directed, badly acted (What happend toOkay i have seen plently of either bad or just medicroe movies lately but this has to been one of the worst movies i have seen in the last few months. I mean where do i begin it is poorly paced, badly directed, badly acted (What happend to Nicloas Cage), laughably written, only a few decent action scenes it's just a bad movie and not much fun of all. Nicolas Cage should either stop doing movies or fire is acting because i mean he's amazingly talented like in movies like Leaving Las Vegas, Con Air, The Rock, Adoption and even the National Treasure movies (which i think are actully pretty good chessy but really good). But he has made some really bad movies latley i mean The Sorcerer's Apprentince and Knowing was okay haven't seen Kick-Ass yet but Next, The Wicker Man, Bangkok Dangeours and now this are all terrible. Sorry i just had to put out my hatred for this movie really a waste of money. Expand

Its pretty close to impossible to like this film. Of course i respect all reviews but this film was not the best way to start a new year of trips to the movies. It was overly cliched and dull.

And the acting was terrible except for Ron Perlman who in my opinion was the only entertainment i got out of this film Expand

They picked a good location I'll give it that but that won't help that much considering how bad this movie really was. I would call it a supernatural thriller that is not that thrilling. It looks cheaply made, you can tell by how Nicolas CageThey picked a good location I'll give it that but that won't help that much considering how bad this movie really was. I would call it a supernatural thriller that is not that thrilling. It looks cheaply made, you can tell by how Nicolas Cage is speaking, he always seems to be shouting. I'll put it this way; costumes production and design are good. Editing and visual effects are definitely not. The cinematography was crude with the film being dark, dusty and foggy in almost every scene. The dialogue wasn't bad but the fact that it changes from Let's drink to Kill her doesn't really make it well played out. It has a B movie aesthetic to it. The film was pieced together terribly with bad cliche's. They put the genre of the movie in between horror and historical thriller, a mix that doesn't go together really well. They made the movie too long by putting unneeded dialogue and bad special effects that delay the overall story line. Cut out all that and it might just catch somebodies eye without them leaving the movie theatre with a frown on their face. Expand

This film is so dopey and is just boring. What is Nick Cage and Ron Pearlman doing here? They should have fired their agents as soon as they got the script. F

I honestly can't understand who thought this film needed to be made.

It doesn't say anything new, or important; it's not done particularly well - in fact, the effects are so terrible, I had to wonder if they spent all their budget on Nicolas Cage. Now, he does do a pretty good job, considering the general catastrophe that passes for a plot in this film, but it's just not enough to make for a passable experience.
The worst is the film's utter disregard for basic details: the Knights Templar did NOT go to combat ON FOOT. They did not WALK all the way to the middle east, which does NOT all look like the Sahara desert. They also did not WALK all the way back to Europe. Was there no budget for a single bloody horse - real or digital - to appear on screen?! Did ANYONE in the production team hear of that mythological body of water called the Mediterranean, and the advent of ships?
If the film makers wanted to insult Christianity, and/or the Crusades, and/or the Inquisition, well, take a number, stand in line, and you're about a century too late anyway. Instead, all you have insulted is the viewer's intelligence.
