Wonderful!!! Brilliant!!!

Rating: 10/10 (23 May 2006)

Okay, it's not the book, and it starts out slowly, but "The Da Vinci Code" is wonderful!!! Brilliant!!! The plot moves quickly, after a slow start. There are enough twists and turns in the plot to keep one guessing. Audrey Tautou is charming and convincing in her role... Tom Hanks portrays the academic "flat foot" with emotional clarity and wit... We truly WANT to like these characters, empathize with them, and cheer them on in their quest. The photography and scenery are magnificent. Each scene, each shot, draws us in further, carrying us into a mysterious, uncharted world. And a feeling of spirit, of grace, of mystical imagination, is what permeates this film. In total, a movie well worth seeing, and deserving a "10". Congratulations, Ron Howard! You've done it again!!!
