  Not What I expected!!!

The Da Vinci code (2006)

Gosh was this movie lame!!! Highly dissapointing!

I came into this movie with an open mind and tried to leave everything at the door. Everybody I had talked to said the book was amazing, and the movie was just as good.

I was extremely shocked when halfway through the movie I thought to myself "Another supposed Hollywood blockbuster that stinks"

I know that my views on this movie will upset all the Da Vinci code faithful, and I don't expect to get any helpfuness votes out of this review, but I really need to voice my opinion.

The previews for this movie make you believe that this movie will turn water into wine, when all it does is turn water into... well... water.

The movie could be summed up in 3 scenes, but they drag it on for over 2 hours... a 2 hour snore fest.

Final Verdict:

2/5

Rent or Buy: I'm not taking anything away from this movie, because I know a lot of people absolutely loved it, but I feel that an equal amount fo people hated it, and their opinions aren't heard. My only recommendation for this film is that you RENT IT before you BUY IT, just in case you are in the 50% of people who dislike The Da Vinci Code.

Please vote if you fell this review was helpful. Thank you.

Pros:
An intriguing mystery

Cons:
None that I can think of

When I first heard Da Vinci Code was going to be made into a movie I knew it would a film I would have to see...Both hubby and I had read the book and found it truly fascinating I was caught up in all the hoopla going on about the movie, watched the film clips when the cast appeared on all the talk shows and read with dismay how the audience in Cannes was not overwhelmed by the film . This opening weekend we decided to make up our own minds and went to see just how Ron Howard, who had never disappointed me with his talent as a director, would do with this very intriguing story. My first...

  Tom Hanks Tries to Break The Da Vinci Code
Review created: 05/27/06

Pros:
Entertaining story that makes history interesting. Good cast.

Cons:
Few slow spots.

The Da Vinci Code, a controversial book by Dan Brown, has been a best seller around the world for several years. I had heard some things about the book before I finally got it a few years ago. I enjoyed the book when I read it and wanted to see the movie version when I heard it was being made. I ve been looking forward to seeing the movie for a long time now. I wasn t able to go as soon as I had really wanted to, but I did see it. I am going to make this review as spoiler free as possible even though I know that many people probably already know a bit about what is in the book, either from...

  The DaVinci Code --- Starring Tom Hanks; Directed by Ron Howard; Written by Dan Brown
Review created: 05/26/06
by: three_ster-- a member of Epinions and Top Reviewer in Movies

Pros:
very intriguing story, Tom Hanks, an involved plot that kept my interest

Cons:
none to my eyes

Spawned from the wildly successful novel, The Da Vinci Code finally made it to the big-screen in part thanks to Director Ron Howard. With the amount of success that the book achieved, it brought along much controversy with the subject-matter that it covered. The main plot of the story is a story about a cover-up by the Catholic Church, and layered clues that could lead to a discovery on an ancient secret. It is really one of those stories that tries to work hard not to spoil its own surprises, and I am not going to be the reviewer that spoils it for anyone who hasn't read the book or seen the.

  Da Vinci Blowed: "so dark the con of the teeming masses"
Review created: 05/25/06
by: Stairway2Drew -- a member of Epinions

Pros:
Ian McKellen and a handful of intriguing ideas...

Cons:
...that translate to a whole lot of nothing.

Of the reviews of The Da Vinci Code that have streamed in since its release last year, there seems to be a template, adhered to on a relatively frequent basis, for success and credibilty. It is, first and foremost, necessary to make clear two bits of personal information: (1) whether you've read Dan Brown's impossibly controversial source book or not, and what you thought about it, and (2) what religious faith, if any, you practice, and how that informs your opinion of the massive rift that seems to propel much of Da Vinci Code's immense popularity. This sort of clamoring for attention and...

  It Should Have Been Better!!!
Review created: 05/19/06
by: chelledun-- a member of Epinions and Top Reviewer in Movies

Pros:
Beautiful setting, intriguing story, some good casting choices

Cons:
Miscast Tom Hanks, lacks a sense of urgency, too much backstory

I have been sooo pumped about the release about The Da Vinci Code. No, I haven t read the book, but the movie had a really fabulous trailer and the plot intrigued me. While I will admit I was relatively entertained during the film, quite a few things about this movie annoyed me and it really should have been done much better. Plot Information Tom Hanks stars as Robert Langdon, a professor and expert on religious symbols. He is immediately alerted of a murder which occurred in the Louvre. The murder victim has left clues which may lead to an important secret of the Christian religion. Langdon..
