Not bad if you don't take the metaphysical aspect seriously

Rating: 10/10 (22 May 2006)

From a purely entertainment perspective, the movie was pretty good. There was mystery, suspense and accomplished acting led by Tom Hanks and supporting cast. Depending on your metaphysical stance, you may or may not enjoy the movie since it pokes holes in the Roman Catholic religion. What's interesting is that the author of "The DaVinci Code" did not make up a lot of the issues, he took existing points that have been debated through the ages and incorporated them into his book. From what I understand, a lot of details from the book was left out (my guess the script writers didn't want to bog the story down with too much information) of the movie. I may grab a copy just to see what difference between the 2 is.
Give the movie a shot, it's a decent movie. Some religious zealot will complain about anything. I found it interesting that some of those folks complained about "The Passion of the Christ," which was a pure pro-Christ movie. Go figure.
