So I saw the Da Vinci Code movie with some college students last night. First time I've seen any movie on opening night for years and years. Now, I've read the book, so none of the controversial stuff was a surprise to me. However, aside from Tom Hanks' hair, in my opinion, the thing people should complain the most about is that the movie isn't very good, and not that it says this, that, or the other thing about Jesus or the Catholic church. Another way of saying this is that it's hard to get offended by stuff when the story doesn't make you care enough about it. I didn't think it was a horrible movie. But having read the book, I just thought that it may be one of those stories that just doesn't translate well to film. Nice try . . .
