Great movie for thinking adults

Rating: 10/10 (23 May 2006)

I thought the DaVinci Code was an excellent movie for thinking adults. I had read the book, but did not remember many of the details. The settings were incredible and the plot made perfect sense to me. I don't understand the reviews that have ranged from negative to lukewarm. This isn't a typical action movie, but it did have me shouting out and gripping my companion at a number of places. For a progressive religious person who thinks a great deal about the history of Christianity and isn't afraid of looking at it with all of its warts, this is a great choice for viewing. Tom Hanks and Ian McClellan were excellent as was the ingénue from Amalie. The length of the movie was not noticed by me or my companion. We thought the time just flew and were totally engrossed in the plot. We both said, "Great movie. What were those reviewers thinking?" when the film ended. I was very glad we decided to see the movie for ourselves rather than paying attention to the several reviews we'd read.
