Movie Review

The Da Vinci Code - starring Tom Hanks, Audrey Tautou and Ian McKellen ... I've been meaning to watch this movie for a while, but for some reason I keep forgetting about it ... I did hear comments about this movie from random people in passing, and I'd hear things like "the movie sucked", "it's not as good as the book" ... but whatever, I gave it a chance ... The movie is about church conspiracy, which threatens to undermine the very foundation of it ... also calling into question: Jesus' true essence, his relationship with Mary Magdalene and The Holy Grail ... What I found was that the movie was really slow-paced in some spots, kinda dragged and it seemed to be pretty over-booked storyline-wise ... It had the same feel as the movie Stigmata (starring Patricia Arquette), but I thought Stigmata was a better movie ... I felt that there were some pointless characters in this movie ... finally, the film furthers my theory that the art of plot twist has been lost ... Overall it was just slightly better than average for me ... Score: 2.75/5 ...

Peace!
