SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Am I Missing Something?

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

In the first minutes of the movie you can already know what the whole movie is about: swordfighting, techno music, regenerating humans and, of course, bad acting. I can easily describe it by saying: Da Vinci Code meets Highlander. And it is as horrible as it seems. Actions scenes are okay. Sometimes the scenes end and you're asking yourself why it took so long ( example: the main characters leave the screen and you get to see people walking on the background for way too long giving the scene some kind of funny feeling ). The main actor is okay ( I'm being nice here ) but most of the cast is horrible. You can smell every intrigue coming from a thousand mile away. No originality whatsoever. I recommend it for anyone who likes to laugh at movies not made to be funny.

I really liked this movie very much. It tells a moving story in a quite straightforward way. The viewers are immediately drawn to identify with the main character David, an orphan who gradually discovers his roots and with them a feud of several centuries' duration that he suddenly finds himself involved in.The acting was quite good, especially the young couple (I already liked Alicja Bachleda-Curus in "Sommersturm"). And there are some very nice swordfighting scenes between the two rivalling orders.Some characters were too transparent from the beginning (I knew the villain after five minutes) and they seem to have borrowed some traits from other movies (X-men, Indiana Jones), but hey! this is a young director. And he took on quite a big issue: some of the great relics of Christianity (the Holy Grail etc.), the Order of the Temple, ancient rivalry, two love stories....(no wonder there are a few loose ends).All in all, it's really worth watching. I enjoyed it immensely!

When you have in mind, that this is only a German TV-Production, this is a decent movie. It is actually well made and The Director was even nominated for an Oscar for doing the short Movie "rote Jacke". The Story might not be the most original one, but it is quite entertaining. This is about the Templars, that are responsible of guarding the tomb of Jesus Christ and the holy grail. The holy grail is supposed to give eternal life to the one that drinks from it. The story however is focused on a boy, who doesn't know who his parents are but notices, that he is somehow special. He is much stronger than the average human and his wounds also heal pretty quick. He grew up in a monastery but he doesn't know any of his past or origin. one day when he is 18 years old, he is being kidnapped and he finds out things that he wished he never would have found out. This is where the main story begins. Some love elements as well as family drama are integrated in this adventure movie, though not always very convincing. But overall this is a quite entertaining movie, considering that this is only a TV-production. The action scenes are also done very well. overall a 7 of 10 point movie.
