So today I saw The Da Vinci Code. Having already read the book I figured that the movie wouldn’t be as good since they usually never are, but I really enjoyed the movie.
I thought the cast was wonderulf. I love Tom Hanks, I think he’s great in every project he does. Ian McKellan was great as Sir Leigh Teabing. I think his scenes were fantastic, he’s a very good actor. Audrey Tautou was great as Sophie. I’d never heard of her before, but apparently she’s been in a lot of things…but those were all French films.
I say it’s good, though it seems like almost everywhere else I read they think the movie is horrible. Hey, whatever, I can deal with that. Afterall, we all have different tastes in entertainment.
But for these people he think it’s hypocrisy, get real. For those who think it’s a true story…GET REAL. It’s a movie based off of a book. It’s FICTION. SLU went a tad bit crazy/overboard with this. We had theology and philosophy professors offering classes and seminars to demonstrate how false the book is and how not to go see the movie this past semester. Can you say overkill?
It’s entertainment….that’s all. It doesn’t try to be anything more. It’s one man’s–though that was questionable until a judical ruling–ingenious idea for a compelling and entertaining adventure/story.
So, overall…I enjoyed the book and the movie. I’d go see it.

I’m gonna have to agree with you on that. People are getting way too crazy about this whole thing imo.
