Da Vinci is a hit

Rating: 10/10 (21 May 2006)

For starters the film was an excellent adaptation of the book. When the date for the movie release was drawing closer I went and obtained the Da Vinci Code from my local library. The storyline was very original and exciting. The mystery of it all kept me guessing and increased my anticipation for the movie.
After watching the film I was pleased to note that although not every part of the story was told(a happening which almost never occur es) nothing was really lacking. Casting was excellent. Although in parts some of the accents were a little tough to follow, and I felt too many subtitles were used, the movie was very enjoyable and kept my attention. I was leaning forward in my seat anticipating the scenes I knew were coming, and enjoying the excellence of the directing and shooting when they happened. most of the scenes took place exactly as I had imagined them in my head.
As far as the content is concerned, I being a Christan, was not offended in any way. In fact the information in the book and movie actually has motivated me to do some studying of my own on the subject. The story is FICTIONAL and not reality. So I guess if a movie can upset you and challenge your faith, it probably wasn't all that strong in the first place.
I give this movie two thumbs up. The storyline from the movie holds up on it's own. You don't have to read the book in order to get it all, but once you see the movie you will almost definitely want to read it anyway.
