The Da Vinci Code

Well, I am surprised. I thought this movie would be pronounced great and fantastic by the Hollywood elite. After all, it's a movie that distorts the Bible and the Christian faith. I'd assume it would get wonderful reviews. It didn't. It has been has been described "grim", "unwieldy" and "plodding".

I have read the book. Everyone was reading it so I though it must be good. I was a bit disappointed. The book was so-so. It wasn't particularly thrilling and a bit boring in spots. The final disclosure of the big secret that Jesus Christ marrying Mary Magdalene and having a child by her was a big thud. I've heard this myth before. If the movie follows that book closely it's no wonder it bombed.
