| The Da Vinci Code This was a lukewarm potboiler thriller of a movie, and now that I've seen it, I can say that the book must be just as uncreative and corny. It's no surprise why the book was such a best-seller of course, what with all the morons I see every time I go to Barnes and Nobles. I can just imagine all the religious hillbillies and christians who watch mtv with their jaws hanging out in awe from the stupendous "surprise" in this movie. Haven't I seen this before? I believe I have, it was called the Preacher comics. Nothing inspired or original here I'm afraid folks, unless you're missing half your brain.
The puzzle-solving aspect of this movie was super-corny as well. I don't want to spoil anything, but there's this hundreds of years old puzzle-box the heroes obtain early in the movie which needs a five letter word as the input code. When they finally come up with the answer it's so retarded, it couldn't have been any more stupid if the answer was "Regis" from Who Wants to be a Millionaire.
Thumbs down for this half-baked effort at patching together conspiracy theories. |
