The DaVinci Code

I finally got around to watching this.Since I expected the worst, I actually ended up thinking it was OK. A lot had to do with Tom Hanks. At first, I thought he was wrong for the part since my picture of Robert Langdon was something like Harrison Ford's College Professor Indy in Raiders.
But I thought Hanks did a good job, ya know, with what he had which is a very predictable script. From a predictable book too.
I think Howard put in so many flashbacks to keep me from dozing off. Howard, you don't need Peter Jackson/Ridley Scott flashbacks. Look at the Omen. Biblical stuff can be intense without flashbacks. Have some rottweilers and crazed nannies chasing Hanks and there you go. The DaVinci Omen ;)

But back to the movie, there were a lot of good players in this. Jean Reno and Ian McKellan. I just wish the plot was more exciting.

The image above is from the video game. I like to think that Ed Peres is somewhere contemplating a lawsuit for stealing his idea of a "Kung Fu Saviour".

Roman Soldier: Jesus Christ!

*Kung fu kick!*
