Da Vinci Code, Despite Mixed Reviews, Fulfills Thirst For Drama

Rating: 10/10 (20 May 2006)

After seeing the Da Vinci Code on opening night and waiting for an hour for tickets, i had a preconceived notion it would be your typical Hollywood drama. Yet, it left me alone in the theater (my friend walked out) pondering over the answers to the Code. The bad reviews are based on critics' emotional cry for a more fulfilling movie. I say do not be fooled. Don't get me wrong, there were clear places where the movie lacked what the book had, but for a full length motion picture, Da Vinci Code was spectacularly done. If you read the book, you may or may not be disappointed, look for the cinematic touches to Dan Brown's work. Great movie, better book.
