The DaVinci Code Review

I understand critics are raking it over the coals, but BP and I saw The DaVinci Code last night and we enjoyed it. Is it the greatest movie ever made? No, but it was enjoyable. I think it’s a hard book to translate onto the screen, but Ron Howard did an admirable job. With the use of fade outs and narration, all the “talky” history parts of the book were dealt with. Tom Hanks was alright, as Hanks always is. Audrey Tautou is absolutely adorable. I loved her in Amelie, and I liked her in this one. Ian McKellen stole every scene he was in.
