Historical thriller with beautiful location shots. Religious right won't see it but they can eat poo.

Rating: 10/10 (13 June 2006)

It's the best movie I've seen this year! My best friend wouldn't go see it, I guess her minister said it's the work of the devil, but it just helped to show me I don't need narrow minded drips like her as friends. Rich historical detail about the development of Christianity and the various groups at odds with each other along the way. I love getting a history lesson and learning more in addition to the fantastic location shots including for example scenes inside the Louvre, Westminister and Temple church. Tom Hanks is outstanding as well as Audrey Tautou, Paul Bettany, (Gandolf)Ian McKellan, Jean Reno and Alfred Molina. Also really enjoyed the small part played by Jürgen Prochnow. A NOT TO BE MISSED summer thriller! 10, 10, 10, 10, 10.
