Bettert then expected

Rating: 8/10 (29 May 2006)

I'm really glad to don't put much weight into what critics say about movies. The code is a rather suspenseful movie, with one forgotten aspect, the false ending. There are a few of them, and when it all wraps up, you feel good. Personally, I'm not much into religion, living in America, when Religion is forced by the hand of censorship, I found myself drawn into the story, something I really can't say has happened to me in a long while. The cinematography is great, and there was some great wise ass, comic moments between Hanks and Mckellen. I really have to say I was glad that it was Ron Howard at the helm, and not Oliver Stone. Hanks finally, and ironically, got away from the preachy garbage he's been doing, and finally, seemed to give a creditable acting performance, something missing since saving Private Ryan. The movie is worth a look, and certainly won't be as forgettable as, shall we say, MI 3.
