overall summary of The Da Vinci Code

Rating: 7/10 (21 May 2006)

I believe that the critics are underestimating the movie. Of course this movie is very controversial and rises many questions. But religion is always controversial. The movie talks about the hidden truth of Christianity and what the real significance of the shadyness of the catholic church. The story is historical fiction with some truth to it. Robert Langdon is a symbologist hired by the french police to decipher some symbols found on the dead body of curator of the Louvre. He meets Sophie and they begin on an epic journey to discover the secret of Christianity through piecing together clues from Da Vinci's paintings. This sends off on an chase and hunt throughout Europe to discover the truth hidden from the world for over 2000 years. But however they are being tracked by a mysterious cloaked man named Silas who tries to prevent them from discovering it. None of these characters are real. This does not that the Da Vinci Code is totally false. There is a Priory of Sion organization that existed thousands of years ago. There could be a possibility that this movie could have some truth to it. Overall i give this movie a 7 because i love religious movies and i like Ron Howard and Tom Hanks so i think that they did a good job on this movie. I do think that Tom Hanks should at least have trimmed his hair a bit. But besides that i think that the movie was brilliant and a beautiful masterpiece.
