Richard Dutcher who did some good films regarding contemporary Mormon life came up very short with Templar Nation which was his effort to imitate the two National Treasure films.According to this movie we should forget what we learned there about the Knights Templar and how they survived in secret and left an enormous treasure in the bowels of lower Manhattan. What really happened is that they made it all the way out to Utah and set up shop there after making an alliance with the local Indians.What I was expecting and it didn't happen was that this would be an explanation for the lack of archaeological evidence for Joseph Smith's vision about a civilization that disappeared in North America. Something the LDS church has been very weak on. But Dutcher did not give us that.What he did give us was a vision of what and how a Mitt Romney could capture the presidency. Mormons in fact can be Templars and can make the best ones.All this is laced with Dutcher as father having a lot of issues with son Joseph James as they go on the dig for the Templar treasure. And of course those people who forced the Templars underground in medieval times are still on the hunt for them. They're Catholics you know. Dutcher came up very short with this LDS ripoff of National Treasure.

If you like Templar lore, then it's not bad. The acting/actors is pretty bad. My how Eric Estrada has aged. I had nothing better to do so I stayed with it just to see what happened. I liked the overall concept of the story. Would have made a pretty good movie with a bigger budget. Instead of "The End" we get "To be continued". I'd like to see where the story goes. I hope they made enough money to do a better job next time. Eric playing De Molay wasn't bad, the rest of the cast was pretty bad, the attempt at humor was awful. They could have at least coached the native American to at least kinda sound native. Nice try, but put more effort in the next one...if there is one.

Oh m god!!!!! Okay normally in fact 99% I don't listen to others, though I do like to speed over some reviews just to get an idea. I am usually Very, VERY , VERRRRYYYY easy in liking movies and try to see it for what it is. Well I sure as heck saw this one as TERRIBLE for what it was that's for sure!!! Not once have I actually agreed with viewers or the majority of them when they've said it's a bad or horrible movie, but in this case, They were right!!! THough even if I believed people I still like to experience things for myself. This has the WORSE acting EVER!!! Oh my god, Erik Estrada would have been better off doing local Liquor commercials in Vegas like Dan Akroyd or car dealership cheezy commercials. This was so bad I had to mute it when it came to many parts. And the ending when they are finding out everything, the Native American guy who cracks the wise joke about not only building casinos was just Awful!!! I felt so bad for HOW BAD, they were!!! I sure as heck don't see any future stars coming out of here. I'm mean I've seen cheezy movies buy bigs stars now, but not CRAPPY AND bad like this. I literally have day nightmares thinking about this. I mean it's one movie I'll remember that's for sure, so if that's what they were trying to do, then they succeeded. I made a home made project at 15 yrs old with olds school big video camera and let me tell you THAT was an A movie compared to this one. This movie doesn't even make the D list cut. It's SOOOOOO bad that no alphabet should be assigned to it. I say burn the copies and any evidence of it!!! ALL OF IT!!!!

This is surely the front-runner for worst picture ever made. The storyline appears to have been concocted by a five-year old on lsd and as for the cast.. the actors guild should investigate how they ever got cards,an amateur church play would have provided a better performance. The sets looked as if they had been made with gaffer tape,cardboard and crayons and would have been better suited to a pre school television show. The action??? Scenes were laughable and disjointed and would not have been out of place in a school playground. How this managed a rating of 4.1 I do not know unless the cast were rating it. A total of 38 ratings and not one review come on. I really wish I could find something positive to say but unfortunately there is nothing. At the end it says "to be continued"I sincerely hope not. Low budget should not mean poor value
