The Da Vinci Code

Sucked. Tom Hanks didn't get much of a chance to pull off acting, which was a dissapointment. Certain things were SO unnecessary. His fear of elevators - why include this shit in the movie? Also, towards the end, when they arrive in London by plane and the police search the plane and don't find Tom Hanks and the French chick because they're hiding in the getaway car, isn't it obvious that they got out before the police got there? Why did they have to show them getting out early to sneak in the car? On one hand, we have guys who can crack abstract codes which the viewer is supposed to follow, but somehow, this same viewer can't understand how they could have gotten out of the plane before the police got there. Right.

The promos made it seem like there's a huge conspiracy "at foot," which really made me wanna see the movie. You see, I love a good cover-up. But oh, how this movie dissapointed. The big secret was already told in the teaser trailers, and the most dramatic scene, too. The movie didn't have any huge mysteries, nor did it have big action or big dialogues. And why did Silas have those ugly, obvious contact lenses? What was the significance of him injuring himself? I mean, I understand why he did it ... I just don't understand why its relevant to the movie.

And DUH ... it was pretty obvious who was going to be Jesus' last living descendant. I just wanna know how an African-Arab bloodline became French.
