So weird the pace of Da Vinci Code.

3pm,GSC cinemas,sitting in between my dad & my cousin,silent phone,and after watching 30mins +- of trailers,advertisements telling u that alchohol frees ur mind & stuff,I almost forgot why i was here & wat movie im supposed to see![alzheimer's creeping in] Back to topic:Wow... tis movie really challenges ur thoughts about life & religion,about what is laid out for u 2 believe in and what Dan Brown claims to be true.

It starts of with a bang(literally) with the murder of one of 8 curators in the Louvre Museum (the rest are intact) and the introduction of Mr.Robert Langdon(Tom Hanks sporting a weird hairdo) beginning a lecture on symbology.He says that symbols are a guide to the past,coupled with projections of various famous symbols that appear 2 be one thing when zoomed in & another when zoomed out.Soon Langdon is called to help investigation of the curator & that's when he meets Sophie Neveu(Audrey Tautou) & realises that they are being framed up for killing the curator & it triggers the cat-and-mouse run from the police and from the conservative sect opus dei.From here on i tot the pace is FINALLY picking up,but no! it's still a slow drag watching our heroes run here & there unlocking the quest.It's it just me,or did it look way too easy for them to solve the mysteries;just look around and "tadaa" i found the secret entrance to this.

The characters in DVC range from easily forgettable to memorable.Tom Hanks is in the former category,his antics & performance is just simply odd,& it isn't easy to swallow until halfway thru.The most memorable character from my opinion is Sir Ian McKellan's Sir Leigh Teabing:he's funny,evil & sneeky all in one!(^_^).And u can't help but pity Paul Bettany's Silas as he has endured a rough childhood & simply being drifted into the wrong path,his a man of self-torture,punishing himself in the name of Christ.


The reason tis movie generated a heck lot of controversy is bcos it is against the normal teaching of Christianity.But then again,if Mr.Dan Brown himself DID NOT change the normal believes of Christianity,who in the right mind will buy his book,let alone watch the movie? He changed wat we believe is true so he can write an amazing story that asks "What if?".I'm somewhat in between enjoying the movie & wishing it was more fun.
