I wonder if there could be more boring 3 hours

Rating: 2/10 (21 May 2006)

You can read a book, watch a football match, learn two dozens of words in foreign language, walk the dog, meet a friend. You can even just stay in bed and stare at the wall. Each of this would be much more useful then watching The Da Vinci Code. This movie is ridiculous and boring at the same time, so that you're getting nervous choosing between laugh and yawning while watching it.
Mr Brown realized that his theory lacks of logic, facts, proofs, evidences and, the most important, originality. Actually, his book is a total fiction of quite a mediocre person who expected that his readers never attended history classes or have no idea of who Da Vinci was. Or never have been to Paris. (Actually, I don't know, what audience he expected to impress?) So he spent dozens of pages trying to explain what makes Sophie Christ's descendant and The Da Vinci Code - an interesting book.
The creators of the movie lack of screen time, so the whole picture consists of huge gaps and of situation that have no any sense or explanation. I wonder, why didn't they put a based-on-a-true-story stuff at the very beginning. That would allow them to avoid those funny attempts to gather Da Vinci, Christ, Maria Magdalena, emperor Constantin, Isaac Newton, Opus Dei, st Grail and etc. together.
Instead of making a Harry Potter-style story, in which fiction is on the surface and is a part of the game, they made it seriously, as if they would be writing a new Byble. I wonder if they have ever read a single history study? I don't count mr Brown's books! And what specially makes me wonder is the reaction of the church. The only goal that they reached is that they really helped the producers to spend less money on the promotion.
I wish they'd protest against war or gather money for starving children in Africa with the same strength. That would really helped to make the church's image more convincing and closer to what is written in the Byble.
