This movie was brilliant. A big achievement for Ron Howard!

Rating: 10/10 (20 May 2006)

Ron Howard scores again with a big hit based on the hit novel written by Dan Brown. Set in Europe, a professor (Tom Hanks) is framed for a murder he did not commit. With symbols marked on the corpse, Hanks character finds clues to revile a plot to keep a secret about Jesus Chirst that he might not have been the son of G-d, but a regular wise man of his age. With the help of the granddaughter of the murdered man, Hanks character continues his riddle and discovers something larger than life itself. The search for the "holy grail". But with the police in Europe looking for an American framed for murder, the time is not on his side and must think quick in order to prove his innocence, and solve DaVinci's master riddle of time.
While it twists two religions in it (Christianity and Judiasm) it keeps everyone on the edge of their seats guessing what will happen next. While the movie is long, it is worth it to sit for a bout 2 1/2 hours. And please note, THIS MOVIE IS NOT SAYING THAT Christ WASN'T WHO HE IS BELIEVED TO BE. IT IS JUST TRYING TO SAY "WHAT IF", NOTHING MORE. I highly recommend it to everyone.
