Why much publicity for so little!

Rating: 5/10 (7 June 2006)

I just have seen the French version of the Da Vinci Code yesterday and I have been as surprised as disappointed. Why all this fuss about this movie? Moreover, how can this far-fetched story trigger such controversy about Christian religion? As example found in the same kind of story/thriller a film such as National Treasure (2004) is much better done and seemingly benefited of a budget up to its pretenses, which is not at all the case with the Da Vinci Code. Dialogues, actors and rhythm are unsubtle. Good guys, like the bad ones, are much stereotyped. I am French and not Catholic, but I sincerely wonder why the Catholic Church and the Opus Dei feel their image and reputation are threatened by this movie.
