Nice action movie

Rating: 9/10 (20 May 2006)

I saw it last night with my 15 year old son. We both enjoyed it as an action movie. I don't think it will threaten anyone's view of religion. It was vintage Ron Howard. If you liked Apollo 13, you will love DVC.
My son read the book and enjoyed it. He thought the movie followed the book well. I thought it was less detailed and less historical with much more action in the "24" sense of action -- they were always running someplace.
One issue not well covered in the movie was the riches supposedly found by the Templars in Jerusalem. When the Romans destroyed the Temple in 70 AD, they took most of the treasure back to Italy and used it to finance the construction of the Colosseum. Is it so far fetched that some of that fabulous treasure was hidden from the Romans but found by the Templars and removed to finance the construction of Feudal Europe?
