Disappointment

Rating: 3/10 (17 January 2005)

I guess I shouldn't be surprised - This is a Hollywood production, after all. The incredibly bad dialog, the childish "codes" (which weren't codes, they were ciphers), the scrambled facts... Well, I guess I am just not a part of the target audience.
This is "The DaVinci Code", with a REALLY bad script and a disregard for history and fact which actually surpasses said book.
The movie was, all in all, not even a decent adventure movie. The symbology was scrambled, the facts were scrambled - the only reason to give it anything but the weakest grade is that it's vaguely amusing to hear the nonsense and be able to comment on it... Even Nicholas Cage wasn't able to save this one.
Good riddance. Go read the DaVinci Code, or even better, something with actual facts in it - and perhaps a plausible story.
