Christopher C. @RT01661018 5d The hair-do for Tom Hanks in this movie . . . WTH? See more Andrew R. @ADufresne Apr 11 It’s a fun action adventure mystery with pieces of historical fiction mixed in. Just as good as the book See more Job G @Job92 Jan 11 If you're interested in the old church history movie then this is the one, they leave some things out of the book that is also inmportant, but with the movie music and powerfull scenes this is the best movies I have seen See more Gregory S @Gregory566 Nov 29 Wow, I am really surprised by the reviews that this movie has received. I enjoyed it, and appreciated the adventure that it took us on. Of course, I also enjoyed the book series as well. This and National Treasure are a lot alike for me. One deals in the US Government and this one with the Christian Faith.

I think it's important to go into this film with an open mind while also recognizing that it was created as a form of entertainment. The thing that I appreciate the most about The Da Vinci Code is that, while it confronts the foundations of Christianity head-on, it also makes a point to openly highlight how faith in something greater than ourselves can bring a sense of peace in troubled times. Given that a significant part of the plot takes place inside the Louvre, I applaud the filmmakers for getting permission to film portions inside the actual museum. I'm sure they could have easily recreated the setting in a studio or some other setting. However, filming in the actual location adds a certain weight of authenticity that illustrates its importance to the film. While I haven't read Dan Brown's book, I do find the source material fascinating. We started off watching The Da Vinci Code with the intention of showing our son a movie filmed in a museum he had recently visited. However, at the end, we found ourselves engaged in a conversation about religion, symbols, and faith. I think the purpose of art, whether that be through paintings, writings, or, in this case, filmmaking, should be to challenge us to think beyond what we believe in order to make those beliefs stronger or to examine them more thoroughly. I think this film certainly does that. See more Jonathan A @RT60560312 Oct 20 Solid cast, let down by a dull bloated film. See more Read all reviews
