The Da Vinci Code

the show i've anticipated since the announcement of the movie being filmed by Ron Howard after the success of Dan Brown's controversial novel.

obviously Ron Howard had a big responsibility to not disappoint the fans of Dan Brown's ' Da Vinci Code'. But he had to prove himself to hollywood as well with the success of recent movies (based on books) such as the harry porter series and the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

'the Da Vinci Code' was an entertaining thriller...filled with suspense and twist; true to the original book. nothing more.

.
the movie has its pros and cons. one being more than the other.
(proS)
the flashback scenes were overdone as if Peter Jackson co-directed the movie.
the scenes where past and present emerged were pretty impressive.
Ian McKellen's performance was brilliant.
the cast (Tom Hanks and Paul Bettany especially) ... oh ya... cast; not the acting i might add.

(conS)
The acting... especially Audrey Taotou's performance. (felt like Natalie Portman in 'starwars' with french accent)
The Flow (was abit too long )
Too safe (uninspired)

enough said. i still liked the movie.
haven't read the book.
that's why the mysteries and puzzle is really engrossing.

in conclusion, Da Vinci is a bloody genious. haha
