1/5 Is it just me or is the MOVIE WAY OFF?
  by A. Ortega (Coconut Beach, CA)
I just finished the book and was quite pleased. Very good all the way through and decent ending. Excited to see the movie I was disappointed in the very first scene. It was obvious they decided to stray from the book BIG time. For example in the movie: After they rob the museum, Tess chases after them and jousts Gus Waldron off his horse. Ridiculous!!!!! I was like WTF? It gets worse from there. Sean Reilys name is Sean Daily lol and the guy who plays him is the worst actor on earth. Mira Sorvino has no life to her. She sounds like a hot sexy robot shooting off lines. I watched it for about 10 minutes more and couldn't take it anymore. Didn't even bother. It's not even the same story. It's like they tried to change the events so it would seem fresh, but its worse. I don't know. I expected a lot more accuracy. I know movies have to do their thing but this is ridiculous. At least the Da Vinci Code and Angles and Demons had everything the way it was in the book. Honestly if you want to watch it for the sake of watching a movie, more power to you. But it's not like the book and the events are frustratingly dissimilar. I passed on it. You should too.

1/5 A movie of the week at best

Yawn! This movie was too long and too far fetched! This low budget film would be best as a lifetime movie. Cheap and cheesy romance novel comes to mind and that can be ok but never this long!!!!!! Don't waste your money or your time. We like one of the other readers kept falling asleep. I like the actors but at some point I wonder why they didn't turn to the director and refuse to utter nonsense.

5/5 what pleases me

This movie is all the excitment one needs. Acting is surpurb, so is the story line.

1/5 3 hours of Long and Boring
  by B. N. Elrod (Virginia, USA)
This movie is 3 hours of boredom. Maybe they could have edited out eighty minutes of horrible dialog. I fell asleep so many times. Five of us watched it and all were disappointed.

Please read some of the other one star ratings. I do not want to waste anymore time on this movie but just want to warn others. I am amazed some people have watched it more than once. I feel I wasted 170 minutes of my life. BTW there are no deleted scenes and also Jerusalem is no where near the coast.

1/5 Should have been called "The Daughter of Indiana Jones: The Last Templar"

I have to say that once again a good book is lead astray. I understand the concept of movies not being exactly like the book but this missed the mark completely in my opinion. The endearing qualities that made Tess a great heorin in the book were completely removed in the film. Making her more Indiana Jones was a bad choice. I failed to see the intrigue and suspense that the novel brought with her being a take no prisoners a$$ kicking type. I am not sure how they could have done a complete 180 with the character but to each his own. The rest of the film was mediocre at best. If you liked the book you probably won't enjoy the movie.
