Just got back from the movie this afternoon. I know a little about Freemasonry... enough to know that it is wrong for a christian to be one. I have studied quite a bit of their literature and find it to be quite full of humanistic teachings. As for the movie, I didn't really find it to be really pro or anti-masonic (other than their are protrayal as the good guys - i.e. protectors of the treasure) Overall, a very innocent, clever, and inacurrate usage of the Masons history and symbolics to come up with a unique and entertaining story. I would give the movie 3 out of 5 stars.

I haven't seen the movie yet but I take exception to the negative things you said about the masons. I can see for sure that you were right in saying you knew a little about them(DAMN LITTLE) No man can become a mason without a belief in a supreme being thats why there are JEWS, HINDU'S, CHRISTIANS ,BUDDIST'S, MUSLIMS, ETC. Look at the pictures of the signing of the Declaration of Indpendance then look up the background of them, most were MASON'S look at the list of presidents of the United States and tell me how many were and are Mason's. I've been a proud mason for nearly 50 years and you should look up the worlds greatest philanthropy, The Shiners Hospitals for Children. It's people like you who know little and think they know everything about an organization. Read Born in
Blood if you want to learn something.

Here is a brief take on the movie from a Masonic point of view.
