I saw Da Vinci code today.

Rating: 8/10 (20 May 2006)

I think the critical reviews of this movie were very harsh. Watching in Vienna I did not hear any laughter or negative comments. Most comments I did hear were of a positive nature. Whilst the script could have been better in parts, however the film did hold the viewers attention, including my 17-year-old son who had not read the novel. Overall it remained and pretty faithful to its source material.
The casting was pretty good, especially Paul Bettany and Ian McKellan who bought real depth to their characters.
All the controversy surrounding the book and movie is stupid. It is a work of fiction, not an attack on Christian values or anything like that. So what if it offers an alternative view of history. A person's faith should be strong enough to take any criticism.
Go and see the movie with an open mind. Ignore the harsh reviews
