 4/10Disappointing
I'm probably one of the few people who haven't read the book, so I had no expectations going in. Unfortunately, I still found it slow, boring and too disjointed. They put a lot of great actors into this and really none of them are able to provide solid performances because they have so little time devoted to them (other than Hanks). I also didn't find Bettany's character all that menacing, not even sure if it was supposed to be so. For all the hype surrounding it, it doesn't surprise me that it fell short of many others' expectations.

I could not bring myself to really enjoy The Da Vinci Code. I thought for one, the movie was too long. Movies like this needn't take so long to get to the point. It is very clear that the story could have been told just as well even if they dropped an hour off of the runtime. In addition, all of the characters contributed to the length by giving speeches about every little thing. At first I assumed they were doing this so that I would have to listen carefully to catch all of the hidden secrets. Soon I discovered that the wordiness was just to increase the runtime, and try and make the movie seem smarter than it was. While the story was well orchestrated, none of the acting was particularly great, like I said, they just were reading lines through most of the movie. Had the movie featured more action, and not been so talky and self-indulgent, I would have enjoyed it more. Even if it was based on a book, it's supposed to be entertaining to someone - it came across as nerdy to me.

Hey!!!! You like dark movies? (And I dont mean dark as in eerie, I mean dark as in you cant see the picture.) You like whispering actors? (And I dont mean talking softly to make a point during certain scenes, I mean mumbling throughout the entire film so you cant understand a word theyve said.) You like subtitles (even though the picture was supposed to be in English)? Then The DaVinci Code is for you. Youll LOVE this flick. Personally, I thought it stunk!

I read the book and liked it a lot, so when the movie came out I was curious to see if it was as good as the book. Unfortunately some people told me not to watch it because it's really disappointing. But 3 days ago I watched it and I enjoyed it a lot. Maybe it's not Tom Hanks' greatest performance but it's still a good movie. Intriguing conspiracy story full of riddles and clues.

Nice job
I finished the mega-bestseller book and then saw the movie. Very interesting concept and story, full of art and history. I really enjoyed this one.

Does this gene fit The DaVinci Code?
