I haven’t
even started the review yet!
But yes,
you’ve read that title right, this is the Da Vinci Code
So,
pre-requisites for reviewing this movie:
No, I
haven’t read the book by Dan Brown, I’m judging this on its own merits.
In terms of
religion, I am atheist, so I’m not going to dwell on the religious aspect of
the movie that has made it so controversial.
With that
out of the way, released in 2006, the Da Vinci Code was financially successful,
earning nearly $760m on a $150m budget. But critically it was less successful
with a rotten 29% rating on Rotten Tomatoes with an average 4.8/10 score. It
was also nominated for a razzie for worst direction but lost to M Night
Shyamalan’s Lady in the Water (and rightfully so) but my thoughts are to
follow.
