A friend (Jeanne) reviewed the DaVinci Code movie in her blog. Sounds like a Hopkins discounter at best. Ah well, I've read the book.

From malefica_v:

Friends, neighbors, arbitrary countrymen, let me save you $8. Don't bother seeing "Da Vinci Code". Any kid who can solve a Nancy Drew mystery, any dork who had freshman World Religions class, and anyone with a sense of plot and timing, will be glad to know that the ending is obvious from the start. You'll know the secret! You'll laugh at the continuity problems! You'll wince at the bad expository passages! See this one in a bargain theater, or wait for the DVD, or skip it in favor of something complex and morally ambiguous.

OK, there was one redeeming feature. Warning, I'm about to toss a Spoiler AND be sleazy. The single redeeming feature was Paul Bettany. Can you say Psycho Fanatic Religious Hitman with Creepy Eyes? Yum, I knew you could! The guy has a Christopher Walken look to him, with a hint of Judson Scott (Khan's main man from Star Trek: Wrath of Khan; I mauled him at a BayCon (I think) in the 1980's. Bad Idea, he's toopid.) Anyway, if I was still 20, or still 30, or whatever, I'd definitely put him on my Villains Crush List.
