Don't believe the critics

Rating: 7/10 (27 May 2006)

After completing the book, 'The Da Vinci Code', I couldn't wait to witness the movie. The book has a great storyline and the movie came with Ron Howard, Tom Hanks and Sir Ian MccKellan. What more Could you ask for? However, after the critics had all seen it, it made me wonder. I couldn't find a review to support the film. Most reviews made the film seem awful, and shouldn't be watched.
However, after watching the film, i can safely say the critics got it wrong. Granted it's no phenomenon the book was, but Ron Howard delivers a thoughtful film that stays faithful to the book. Sure some people will laugh at the climax when Tom Hanks says 'I have to get to a library fast!', but the film is overall very successful. One major factor in the films success is the performance by Paul Bettany as Silas. He delivers an awesome performance.
So don't believe what the critics say, the Da Vinci Code is a winner.
