I think this film is taken a little to seriously

Rating: 8/10 (20 May 2006)

I have just returned from seeing The Da Vinci Code and would like to say I really enjoyed it. I cannot understand some critics rating this as a bad film, it does have some minor drawbacks in its story telling but overall is good to see in the cinema. I have not read the book yet but am looking forward to it, so my review of the film is based on what I saw on screen only. This is a film where the viewer has a chance to see real fiction at work, which is why I think it has been given some bad reviews, remember it is fiction, so if you can go in with an open mind you may enjoy it. I found it was similar to the film National Treasure, apart from the fact that Jesus was involved in The Da Vinci Code, the film runs much like a treasure hunt, as stated by Robert Langdon (played greatly by Tom Hanks). Perhaps the reason for bad reviews is that the film does go into great detail that it could be called heresy, fiction, fiction, fiction. Overall I found it interesting, and thought Ron Howard has made another good film, and remember it is a film, not real, made in such a way that it has angered some people, like Mel Gibson did with Passion, which apparently was real, you be the judge.
