DVD Reviews of In Search of History - The Knights Templar (History Channel)
DVD Review: What a snoozer!
Summary: 2 Stars
I wanted to watch this documentary, I wanted to like this documentary, and to paraphrase, "I can't believe I watched the whole thing."
OK, I like documentaries in general, and I was intruiged by this one. I did like learning about the origins of the Knights Templar (Knights of King Solomon's Temple), and about their military and political influence, as well as their demise, but there are more things that put me off.
For one thing, the battle scenes they showed could have been pulled off by my kids...in fact I've seen more intense battles first-hand than the ones depicted in this show. For another thing, the historians they showed looked painfully like historians...all academics, no fun, and they seemed to be more interested in sharing what they thought than what they knew.
Of course, part of the attraction of a documentary like this is that there is so much suspected and so little actually known about the fate of the Knights Templar. This is painfully obvious from recent pop-culture, e.g., the movie National Treasure (Widescreen Edition), and who knows how many action-adventure novels tie in?
Anyway,I thought that there was WAY too much conjecture and arm-waving about what might have happened, and too little attention paid to showing what we KNOW happened.
So, all in all, I have to say that I didn't like this show, even though I really wanted to.
2 stars...sigh
