A Major Disappointment

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

While handsomely filmed, the script/plot for this series is nothing short of ludicrous. Using 21st century morals, the story paints a ridiculous picture of 14th century France. The last two episodes were tortuous, with the physiologic impossibility of someone living as long as one of the characters did after being stabbed through the heart raising the melodrama to farcical heights. The "deathbed" scene in the last episode with lovers whispering vapid words to each other is absurd beyond belief. I had to fast forward through it which I cannot remember ever doing before. One would think The History Channel would have better things to broadcast than this dreck. I am mad at myself for thinking it would be worthwhile in the end. It was not.

Simply awful with a totally ridiculous story-line. I'm a history lover and have read many books on the subject of the Templars, so i really anticipated this serial and hoped i might enjoy. They actually paid someone to write such a ridiculous script?! i really was laughing at times, with what was going on in this serial. Very bad casting and acting as well. So bad that it became funny at times. i was even bursting in laughter in supposedly dramatic scenes! it's a DISASTER of a serial. i watched it till the end, simply to see how actually bad it was. and it really got from bad to worst.. After the last episode (which was probably the worst and most ridiculous of all) i cought myself thinking. "i actually wasted 10 hours of my life to watch this"?! So in order that no other intelligent people waste their time and nerves on this, i decided to write. I wouldn't recommend it, especially to real history lovers.

Here is the thing, if you are looking for historical documentary or find the truth about the Templars then better look elsewhere. It has major historical inaccuracies as MOST of this category tv series. Now why is that? I don't know but as I said, I will not review Kinghtfall as a documentary but as historical drama which tells a story by blending true events and imaginary. The outcome is beautiful. Taking into account the budget spent, the settings the costumes, the fighting scenes, the romance, the cast, are great in my view. Some people moan about the soundtracks but I don't get it, we talk about Templars and not Harry Potter's Hogwarts school.

There is no way a person would waste time to watch this. it's not good, not accurate, not enjoyable ... Waste of time
