| In this purported thriller/chase movie, the leading characters babble reams of religious history and other tiresome explanations to each other (and the audience), thus stopping the movie dead in its tracks every few minutes. The bad guys are also among the most stupid in film history in terms of being able to capture or kill their prey. Considering all the murder and self-mutilation on display, the fact that THE DA VINCI CODE got a PG-13 rating is shameful but typical of our "bought" ratings board. It is difficult to believe that, were it not for it for the book's best-sellerdom (best-sellerdumb?), the film would have made more than a few bucks--even with its tiresome "take" on the Jesus you never knew. What a waste of a classy cast, especially that French great Jean-Pierre Marielle. Member/reviewer MbDooley notes that the book was better. Sweet Jesus, let's hope so! |
