Rating: 8/10 (22 May 2006)

The DaVinci code was a solid remake of a thrilling book. It has been held up to a standard far too high for a film of this sort. The DaVinci Code by Dan Brown, although a fascinating and exciting novel, is far from a Pulitzer Prize work of literature. Thus, the movie created in its wake, should be held to a similar standard: a mystery thriller. As far as a thriller goes, the DaVinci code is fabulous, on par with many of the motion picture remakes of Stephen King novels. The movie tactfully depicts the author's intricate and captivating novel and is exciting to watch. The DaVinci Code is not an Oscar winning piece, but is that an appropriate expectation? Taken for what it is, a fun, interesting, and exciting journey through history, the DaVinci code is a good film and is worth watching.
