| The movie that came out a few years back, I thought it was good, there were obviously some problems in the church at that time, how close to the truth was that movie?

First of all, I have not seen the movie, so I can't comment on it personally. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops have a summary movie review as follows:
Sweeping but flawed historical drama about the life of Martin Luther (Joseph Fiennes), the 16th-century German monk instrumental in triggering the Protestant Reformation. Though making the issues and personalities accessible to modern viewers, Eric Till's biopic veers from historical accuracy, oversimplifying complex religious and political issues, glossing over Luther's shortcomings with a revisionist glaze, while painting the church as worldly and self-indulgent. Recurring violence and theological complexities
The entire review is available here.
For a fair treatment of the Protestant "Revolution" see Roots of the Reformation by Karl Adams. It is available online from EWTN, although it does not include everything in the published version.
