rip off

Rating: 5/10 (19 May 2006)

davinci code is essentially based on the idea that Dogma by Kevin Smith introduced back in 1999. Then in Dogma we are thrown a curve ball with the revelation that Jesus had children and his bloodline lived on. Being a comedy it was slightly and more easily swallowed as a what if and left there. Dan Brown's novel was published 4 yrs later in 2003. Using the name of Leonardo Davinci, a well known name recognized with science and history and delivering the fiction extracted from facts,in a more serious tone, created the fear that this idea was true and a church conspiracy. The church made a big deal saying it was blasphemous as they did with Dogma. Female descendant of Christ's bloodline to renew faith etc (Kevin Smith should sue) RIP OFF!!!! to quote The Sovereign from Hercules: The Legendary Journeys TV series (Kevin Sorbo) " VERY Disappointed !!!
