A Film Review By Paul Perkins

Don't Believe the Hype

I am not one who goes to church every Sunday I work on Sundays, but I believe in God and pray to him every night. But everything about that is going on because of this movie needs to stop. This is a movie it not real it a fiction movie base on a fiction book so enough with all the talk about it.

For anyone who has not heard anything about the film it base on a bestselling conversional book called The Da Vinci Code. The film is center on Famed symbologist Professor Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) is called to the Louvre museum one night where a curator has been murdered, leaving behind a mysterious trail of symbols and clues. With his own survival at stake, Langdon, aided by the police cryptologist Sophie Neveu (Audrey Tautou), unveils a series of stunning secrets hidden in the works of Leonardo Da Vinci, all leading to a covert society dedicated to guarding an ancient secret that has remained hidden for 2000 years.

This review is coming from a person who never read any part of the book this film is base on. I am reviewing this film base on entertainment value not base on is this film has any truth to it. First all this is not true anyone who knows their religion knows the true origins of Jesus so if this film makes you think twice about your religion then you are not that strong in your religion. No more about that subject now on to the film itself.

With a big Hollywood Director and a big Hollywood Actor then you must be saying to yourself this is going to be an outstanding motion picture. Well you think that you will be wrong this film is not outstanding it is an average film.

What may this film just  a regular film is the length it just a little too long the film itself is about 2 and half hours and in some of the scenes it seems like the film was 3 hours. I wish they cut down some of the scenes in the film it would be a better film.

The acting was good by the main stars of the film Tom Hanks and Audrey Tautou who was great working together. This film is like an Indian Jones treasure hunt movie with more of the religion theme. People told me after the screening that the movie is just like the book but longer. I cannot come pare this film to the book being I have not read the book.

 So fans of the book should see this movie and judge for them to see if it better than the book. For everyone else who is like me never read the book check it out to see what all the talk is about and judge for you. And remember this film is a film not real life so everyone calm down about it.
