Just another storyline to make money

Rating: 6/10 (18 May 2006)

The media portrayed that there is so much controversy surrounding the book. After watching the movie I just feel that the apparent controversies are just exaggerated: The media is to blame for a major part of it. 'The Da Vinci Code' is just another one of those movies where things are portrayed differently contradicting or supporting the viewpoints/beliefs of most people.
I went to the movie expecting so much. (Have to let you know that I have never read the movie. I just went to watch the movie straight up) I did not even find the movie to be as spectacular as the pre-talk was, but it is not a badly constructed story. I have to agree that it has some interesting sequence of events, thanks to Dan Brown's creative imagination (and apparent research). But then again, to me, it is just shocking that Dan Brown made too much easy money. It just reiterates the fact: how easy it is to manipulate peoples' minds to excite them just from a random author's perspective (the storyline).
It would be a bit disappointing if 'The Da Vinci Code' ends up being a blockbuster or gets some good accolades. I wouldn't recommend anyone to not go and see it, but I think everyone should watch it to judge for themselves.
