Did I see the same movie?

Rating: 8/10 (20 May 2006)

Went to the only sold out showing opening night. Myself and the rest of the party I was with really enjoyed the movie. Two of us had read the novel and we both felt that the movie captured the feeling that you were in the story rather than watching a movie. This was the feeling I had when I read the novel, I couldn't put the book down. I was very impressed with how close the movie was able to follow the book. I thought the acting was very good and the actors believable in their roles. If I wanted to, I can poke holes in part of the plot, but that isn't why I go to movies or read books. I go to movies and read books to be entertained, and both the book and movie are very entertaining. It is funny that some many groups dismiss the premise of the movie/book since there is no proof Jesus was married. But it is equally true that there is no proof he wasn't. There is a large gap in the gospels that cover a lot of his life. Who knows what happened? Is Da Vinci Code fact? Obviously not. Is the premise possible? Sure. Do critics know anything about movies? Absolutely not.
