I found the movie to be largely boring

Rating: 1/10 (21 May 2006)

Though the book (which I have not read) is supposed to be very well-written and be a fun, edge-of-your-seat novel, I found the movie to be long and largely boring. I kept thinking to myself, "Is it over yet?" My niece, in contrast, said she thought it was interesting. My brother-in-law compared the movie to "National Treasure," but personally, I found "National Treasure" to be a FAR move interesting movie than "The DaVinci Code." If it were not for the claims of accuracy by Dan Brown (i.e., a fictional novel claiming to be factual---even though Dan Brown admits to it being a fictional novel, at the same time, the book says that all the documents, organizations, etc. are accurate; plus, according to his own website, he apparently believes a lot of it to be true himself) and the wide-spread public controversy, along with 60% of people surveyed believing that either all or part of it was true---if it were not for all the public controversy, I would find it to be a stupid story and hardly worth notice. However, much of the movie did come across as being quite convincing that these were actual facts that were being revealed, and not just some fun story, so because of that, I also found it to be a very bold and diabolical attack against Christianity. However, I do agree that, on the positive side, it does promote discussion of such historical and theological matters, which I see as a good thing. It has prompted me to do research on the issues raised in the movie, and because of this, I have learned more than I knew before. My research has only solidified my faith as a Christian, because I have found the Bible, the four Gospel accounts, and Christ Jesus the Son of God to have an immense mountain of verifiable historical accuracy and manuscript documents (including non-Christian sources) to back them up, compared to the ridiculous, preposterous, stupid, silly and feeble claims that "The DaVinci Code" makes. Toward the end of the movie, when they revealed what was supposed to be a huge climax in the movie, I had to suppress myself (out of respect for the others in the theater) from laughing out loud, since it was so ridiculous.
