Bad thriller, Bad drama, Bad Action film.

Rating: 3/10 (20 May 2006)

I know the da vinci code is not the best book ever but it was a good story, an easy reading and somehow entertain, I was looking forward to see Audrey Tautou and Jean Reno, but I was very disappointed with her performance, definitely English is not a language for french people.
But lets get to the movie. * I haven ever seen a movie with so many FLASHBACKS trying to build up character background, and i thought the film style they use was corny. * For somebody who hasn't read the book, i don't really think that the movie makes too much sense on a storyline. * For someone who actually read the book, the good points of the plot and the puzzles on the book are completely pass over on the movie and all the difficulties they encounter seemed very easy to solve. * The action sequences didn't have anything magnificent that you would have expect from a big production like this. * The "deciphering ability" was , without surprise, the same technique used on Beautiful Mind. * Most of the scenes spend just time getting into a building and going out of it.
The cinematography wasn't bad, some shoots looked good but nothing to really praise, but it was a good job. The performance of Ian McKellen was very good, and Paul Bettany Spanish was convincing. :).
I thought for all the anticipation and scandal that has been around the da vinci code, the movie was a failure.
* Apologize for my English, is not my first language.
