The Da Vinci Code Film Review - Time Out Film

The Da Vinci Code Film Review - Time Out Film.

To his credit, Howard keeps his movie ticking along at a much more acceptable pace than he ever achieved in 'A Cinderella Man' and if - and it's quite a big if - you're willing to ignore the monstrous perversion of the garbled historicism at its core, then you might even enjoy some of its wild fancy as it sweeps through a host of grand French and British locations

It's all complete guff, of course, however compelling you may find 'The Da Vinci Code' as a middle-of-the-road film thriller. Hanks and Tautou sprint their way through two-and-a-half hours of relentless, ridiculous exposition and condescending explanations of the past 2,000 years of ecclesiastical history that would make a GCSE history teacher blush with embarrassment.The script leaves nothing to the imagination as it attempts to make clear a plot that forever chews on its own tail and devises cunning get-out-clauses.

Emphasis added by me.

Guff... maybe, but the challenge is to creatively engage with people who are going to watch this film, the book caused a stir, the film more so I sense... we must learn to use these opportunities .. posted on my experience so far... let me know what you think!
