a lot of hype about nothing....

Rating: Null/10 (9 January 2007)

so this evening I finally saw THE Da Vinci code with a girlfriend who was so clever to let the whole hype pass by ( both book and film) just as I did. but this evening we decided to watch it and so we can make our own judgment about the whole hype.
like I said , i wasn't into the hype at all. yes of course I read a bit here and there ( because it was impossible to ignore it completely by the media) and I know it was a bit about, secret Christian society, a lot of codes,Da Vinci and heir of Jesus.but I didn't knew anything about specific story lines and plot twists...
though, ... it was really very painfully predictable to me... McClellan and butler turns to be bad guys...NOOOOO, chick turns to be the heir of Christ...NOOOOOOOOOI hadn't see those coming ( for the morons among us this is Ironic)like many other things in this movie :predictable escapes(of course)the one a bit more realistic than the other; the heroic death of the monk;the betrayal...really the whole movie.though I was a bit amused by some conversations about the secret society and the history of the Grail. accidentally I read a lot about the Grail when I was a child and all the fancy stories of the templar knights and its secrets. I read them many ,many years before I watched this film so I was already totally up to date :-)
but my final conclusion is that it was totally predictable and a bit lame,I think the actors agreed with me, because everyone sucked big time ( Mcclallen was OK, but the rest should be ashamed of themselves) and at a certain moment I even didn't care about how it should end... the chick dies, fine! the chick doesn't die also fine!she marries tom hanks and make the next heir with him, be my pleasure;where are Magdalena's remains, who gives a f*ck... I really didn't care during the end of the film.honestly this not the worst film i've ever seen, but its definitely totally not worth the hype, the story isn't really that brilliant, maybe the book is better I don't know, but i believe it will have a lot more of suspense... the good: Ian Mc clellan,Silas, the Hans zimmer soundtrack; the bad: the acting of all the rest; the ugly : the story
don't spoil your money and time on this hype, you can also live a nice peaceful and happy life without seeing this overrated hype thing I rest my case
