DaVinci Code Film Critique

DaVinci Code Film Critique

Released in 2006, The DaVinci Code raised a lot of questions in the religious world. I consider myself to be a Christian although I do not know very much about the Bible and I was blown away by the majority of the “facts” discussed throughout the movie. As I was walking out of the theatre I was wondering could this information be true. I give whoever gave up with this movie kudos for the amount of research it had to have taken in order to right a nearly full proof script.

Tom Hanks makes a big comeback in The DaVinci Code as he takes on the role professor Langdon. Tom Hanks does a remarkable job of acting throughout this movie as he gives what appears to me a top five performance with Cast Away easily being his all time greatest.

When I compare a movie to the original book normally the book blows away the movie because of the attention to detail there is. However, this may be the first movie that is possibly greater than the book. For years to come this movie will be discussed all over the world as a movie that pushes the religious limits but in today’s world a movie never makes it big unless it pushes the limit.
