Goofs:

Factual errors: The Templar knights are shown abandoning ship in a storm and then wading ashore wearing full chain mail and a sword. Swords are heavy and chain mail is heavier. Nobody would be able to float wearing them so would have had to get rid of them quickly or drown.

I really could not believe it!!!

Especially the part about Turkey because I am Turkish. Bodrum was shot like some town from the 3rd world, without even knowing the fact that every single person in Bodrum can speak English and I have never ever seen Bodrum like in the film! Bodrum is just more like Santorini,or a calmer Ibiza but definitely not whats like in the film! And moreover has even its own international airport,a museum of underwater archeology, and a lovely Castle of The Knights of St.John. Some Americans really like to show Turkey like a 3rd. world country -which is not- and if its like that,how on hell I know English! God this is sooo ridiculous!!! And all of a sudden she starts to speak in Turkish,which is very hard to understand what she says even for herself! It has almost nothing the same with the novel, I can understand that the producers did their best to keep it brief but, anyway,though I am quite keen on the history of Templar's, I was not expecting to watch such a mess! Sorry guys but this is nonsense!
