Better than I expected

Rating: 7/10 (17 February 2010)

I never went to see this when it came out in the cinema and watched it on TV while abroad. I was surprised at what a good film The Da Vinci Code is. Has Tom Hanks ever given a bad performance? And Aurey Tatou was also excellent in a film that showed her intellect as well as her beauty. In my opinion Ian Mckellen overacts ( as do many stage actors when on screen ) but that can be forgiven as the film moves at such a fast pace with lots to keep me glued to the screen. The premise behind the story is all nonsense as has been shown many times, but as others have said this is fiction, so taking it for what it is, I loved it and even bought Angels and Demons on DVD to see if that is also as good.
