The Da Vinci Code


Claire and I went to see the Da Vinci Code. I have read much of the hype material, including the various Christian response literature to it.

We paid NZ$12 to see it and that was grossly in excess of the value it provided. I would rate it as almost as good as some of the TBN movies. If you have seen a TBN movie you will understand just how bad that is.

The story line was boring. There was no climax. Tom Hanks, normally a gaurentee for a movie to be of some class would probably be embarassed at being involved in this enterprise. His end little sermon was so lame.

And basically I don't understand why anyone even bothered to get upset about it. What is the point in putting all that effort into producing responses and little booklets and little bible studies and web sites debunking the movie when it is completely lame.

My considered advice... save your coin and go and watch something like Ice Age 2, which at least is funny.

Oh, and if you are worried about what your non-Christian friends will think about it... don't.. they will probably be amongst those people who walked out during the movie.
