Da Vinci Code is Good but not Great

Rating: 8/10 (21 May 2006)

I went to see the movie "The Da Vinci Code" with my brother opening week. He has read the book but I hadn't yet. I am a fan of many of Ron Howard's films and thought this could be one of, if not his best, picture yet. I am a little disappointed after viewing the highly speculated film. It was way over hyped. Don't get me wrong, the movie was not terrible but quite entertaining. It just did not meet up to the standards that the media had set prior to the film's release. It was a good movie. It just wasn't that amazing, spectacular, breathtaking, intriguing film that you see so very rarely nowadays. It was one of those movies where you walked out of the theater and you thought about it for a little while but then it would never cross your mind the next day, or the following week, or ever really. It was not memorable. It was a good movie, but that was about it. Save your $10 or $8 and rent the movie for half the price.
