See it for yourself and decide for yourself

Rating: 8/10 (19 May 2006)

The Da Vinci Code reminded me that cinema audience's today there have the intelligence of gnats. This is a good movie, despite what the critics say - I haven't read the book but I do know the basics and to my knowledge was an intelligent and thought provoking outing at the cinemas, for once. It's a clever film that raises a lot of questions. It was epic adventure and I thoroughly enjoyed it for what it was.
Whether or not any of it is true is really irrelevant. This is fiction, it's a film and the controversy that surrounds it is ridiculous. For anybody to turn their backs on their faith after viewing this film means one thing. Obviously their faith wasn't that strong to begin with.
This was not the greatest story ever told, nor did it claim to be yet the expectations for this film were out of the ballpark and it was destined to disappoint after the success of Dan Brown's best-selling novel. Keep in mind everybody has an opinion and in this film's case, everybody has his or her own agenda because the subject matter is deemed so "controversial".
See it for yourself and decide for yourself. Whether you believe or you don't, neither version of the "truth" can truly be approved or disproved and that's the beauty of this film, it's got everyone talking.
