It's okay...better than the book. But that's not saying much

Rating: 4/10 (26 April 2008)

I am going to be completely honest with you. I am a Catholic...I've read the book, and didn't like it. Not because it was against my religion and all that controversy c**p. I didn't like it because it wasn't written well. With all sincerity, the original Harry Potter novel was written better than it. However, I must say that the movie is MUCH better than the Harry Potter movies. It's acted decently (I've seen Hanks do much better than this, but he still acted quite well), scripted fairly decently, paced better than the book was, and it even wraps up a few story hinges that Dan Brown couldn't work his way out of.
I can't really say that I enjoyed it, because it's just as predictable as the book was, just as corny, and the chase scenes are just as ridiculous as the next cheesy Hollywood thriller flick. But that doesn't make it evil. It is, after all, A WORK OF FICTION (despite the comments to the contrary in the front of the book, stating information in the novel as apparently "true"), and it needs to be treated as such.
Good, but not great. But then again, Michael Bay's "Transformers" was good, but not great, and I'd still see that twice over before seeing The Da Vinci Code again. Because at least Transformers had picture perfect CGI animation.
