Very entertaining!

Rating: 10/10 (22 May 2006)

The Da Vinci Code is a great movie to start the summer off with. Respects the storyline of the book, with one or two changes or omissions (but hey, as it was it lasted 3 hours, so...), but overall, everything is pretty much as one would have expected it to be when reading the book, it's fast pacing, twist turning, and fun, filled with good historical details and conspiracy theories that are not necessarily true (most have been talked about for many years, many many other books and other movie (such as Last Temptation of Jesus Christ). Personally, I love the ideas it presents, the idea that Jesus was a man like every other, who loved and lived, who had a life makes everything so much more real than what I've been taught my whole life. Added to that a gorgeous French and European backdrop, conspiracy theories of the church, secret organizations with famous intriguing members, all add up to what I think are 3 very fun hours. Also, good acting on behalf of all actors. Never really understood all the criticism, considering after all that this is a work of fiction, both book and movie!!!!!!!) No one has said that anything presented in the movie is the absolute truth, so just go and enjoy it as what it is... a very entertaining and engrossing movie, specially for those who love treasure hunts and the such. Enjoy!
