Dull

Rating: 5/10 (28 May 2006)

'The Da Vinci Code' is an action/adventure film about a man who stumbles fatefully into a mystery surrounding the death of a man at the Louvre gallery. The mystery surrounds Jesus and his relationship with others attempting to seek out the truth and destroy it and destroy him. The film flits from scene to scene, but there is little that engages the viewer. (I expected the film to be more engaging because the book was in the best-seller charts for months.) The performances of the actors is probably the best element of the film, sadly. The plot moved a little too slowly with some elements of the plot that seem to be strange coincidences. (For example, the main character was linked to the Teacher through a friendship with him. I could understand how, based on their interests, they two were good friends, but I found it less believable for the Teacher to be the villain and the one leading the chase.) Unfortunately, the film was dull and this will be one that I won't watch again. If you plan to see it, do not expect a lot.
