Too much Da Vinci Code

Rating: 7/10 (26 August 2005)

This movie, though very entertaining (hence my 7 out of 10) looks as if it a pre-release of "The Da Vinci Code". So many elements have been taken from Dan Brown's bestseller, that most of the plot felt familiar to me, having read (as we all have) the Dan Brown book. The main difference is that not ancient documents from biblical times are the basis for all the action, but the a more recent document. Furthermore there are so many parallels (the running from one clue to another, the Freemasons, the vaults beneath churches etc.) that it looks as if Disney wanted to pick some of the credit of Dan Brown, while he still could, before the movie of the Da Vinci Code is among us.
