Best Movie of the Year!

Rating: 10/10 (22 May 2006)

This film is great. I believe that it is one of the best films of the year. There are a few things that make the Da Vinci Code is such a good film.
First, the film has an actual plot. Most of the films out there today are plain stupid, plot-less movies that are purely made just to bring in that little bit of money that they somehow manage to make. Da Vinci Code has a plot that is well developed and actually makes sense. It has lots of twists and turns that make you think. The ending of the movie was very well done and true to the book. Unlike some other movies, Da Vinci makes a nice closing at the end that is heart warming and emotional.
Secondly, Da Vinci was very well cast. Tome Hanks was just outstanding as Robert Langdon and so was Audrey Tautou as Sofie Neveu. The rest of the cast like Ian McKellen, Jean Reno, Paul Bettany and Alfred Molina were awesome. I don't think that there could be better suited people for the roles.
Lastly, the one final touch that makes Da Vinci so good is the music. Hans Zimmer did an absolutely wonderful job with the music. The score adds to the movie and pushes it up, makes thoughtful scenes thoughtful, and action scenes full of apprehension.
The Da Vinci Code is a movie based on a book. Everyone knows that and the movie will be criticized about it but to be honest the movie is on the same level of excellent as the book. Some of the parts of the book were cut but it doesn't bring the movie down.
I must say I will definitely go and see the movie again and I urge everyone that reads this review to do the same even though there is so much bad criticism surrounding this movie and its content. IT'S FICTION! IT'S NOT A HISTORY DOCUMENTARY, IT'S A MOVIE! (and one worth seeing over and over again)
