nicely played not over the top

Rating: 8/10 (28 May 2006)

I have now seen the Da Vinci code twice and it gets better the second time. I thought Ron Howard made a good job of the d-v-c, it was nicely under played by all the leading characters, after all the film is not a crash bang wallop kill every body in sight a a six shooter. I believe that most people cannot handle it because it is a thinking person's film and it goes without say the subject of the film. If people go to see without first reading the book,they will find the film hard going. I found the book a very easy read, to my surprise a lot of people I know have given up because they find it too deep,I cannot understand why! I would urge people to read Holy Blood Holy Grail by Baigent ,Lincoln and Leigh. Food for thought the church for years have feed people with all sorts of stories based on all sorts of writings which have been handed down translated from the original Hebrew/Judaic text to Aramaic-Greek-Latin-English over centuries, Dan Browns version is just as feasible after all they all fictional stories.
