Reviews were bad?

Rating: 10/10 (20 May 2006)

I saw the movie yesterday and after reading an abundance of reviews and hearing all the down talk, I have come to a conclusion that within the movie critic world, bias is very prevalent. I can't see why anyone would not enjoy the movie, especially if one has read the book. Ron Howard did an excellent job and the movie was not too talkative as was said continuously. It was suspenseful, intellectual, provocative and excellent. Tom Hanks was not at his best, but he was very good. The book and movie are both fiction. That has never been refuted by Dan Brown or anyone. It is meant to be fiction. It's obvious that many right-wing Christians are going to be in upheaval over this movie, even though at the end of the movie that even if it were true, all the events, it would not make Christianity false. When Mel Gibson, who is an extremely prejudice person and an extreme Christian made The Passion of the Christ, not many people were up in arms about it. Jewish people were not staging protests. Plus, that movie was supposed to be Nonfiction. The only reason this movie is taking so much heat is because of who it could offend, even though a fiction piece should not offend everyone. Somebody always has to complain? See the movie, it doesn't matter if you're Christian or not, you'll appreciate what a story it is, and that's all it is, a story.
