Extremely Great!

Rating: 10/10 (19 May 2006)

I've just seen The Da Vinci Code and I have to tell you that it raised high above my expectations. I never thought that the film was going to be near as great as the movie, but it really was. Anyhow, the music is a bit disturbing and feels a bit too much Hollywood sometimes, but otherwise it's one of the greatest movies ever. Only ones who criticize is people who haven't read/understood the book or people in Opus Dei or other religious movements. Tom Hanks as professor Langdon is also great. Some of my friends thought he was boring and to be honest, he is at a few moments, but he is in the book as well and since it's the book that came before the movie, the movie has to follow the book. And it sure has. I believe that it's sad though that they met such a resistance from the church. I mean, they weren't allowed into Westminster Abbey, they didn't even got an explanation. In Moldavia, the press had wrote a report on the film before it had even been showned to the world, telling everyone about how it would split the country and so on and so on. Judging by the fear of the churches all around the globe and their influence on the criticism of this movie it's obvious that they're in possession of too much power, which is really sad since it's a great film!
