My Da Vinci Code Review

Went to see the Da Vinci Code last night with my wife.

Have you seen it? Did you believe all the hype?

Anyone who is interested in exploring the stories of their Christian Faith will love to see this movie. My personal feelings are that it's just as Dan Brown suggests: A work of fiction.

It is a terrific work, and whether you believe that the Priory of Scion exists, or that the Catholic Church conspires against the truth, is a matter of personal belief. Being Non-Catholic awards me some latitude to speculate the what-ifs.

I was thoroughly entertained by the movie and I felt it was captivating, but for me, some parts were predictable. I say that, because I've never read the book, nor did I see clips of the movie, read bylines off some fan website. How predictable? I won't spoil it for anyone else, but let's just say I predicted who the major players would be by the end of the movie, just as the movie began. For me, the rest of the film was following the character plots, twists, and turns, and waiting for the "surprise" ending.

Would I recommend the film to others? Yup, but, you need to see it not for the hype, but for your own curiosity. My wife and I had a great time at the theatre, even though we both believe ticket prices are not all they are cracked up to be these days. :(
