Entertaining Movie!

Rating: 8/10 (20 May 2006)

I never read the book and personally, I could of cared less about the religious implication(s) the movie and book purported; Rather I went to go see a movie about solving a 2,000 year old mystery. The movie did not disappoint.
Tom Hanks was great as Robert Langdon and Audrey Tautou was beautifully cast in the role of Sophie. She did her role, which is alternatively conflicted, intelligent, and compassionate very well. If you enjoy sherlock Holmes type of movies, then you will enjoy the Da Vinci Code. Some things are rather apparent early in the movie, but I think that it is more to do from the formula that this genre of story typically follows than a problem in the film.
If you are a fan of Ian Mckellen you will enjoy his scenes. He was wonderful in this movie!Very funny! Paul Bettany was good too. Although he seems to enjoy showing his backside in his movies quite a bit.
