I loved the history, the speculation, the riddles and puzzles, and the masterful blend of fact and fiction. I read the book and I LOVED it couldn't put it down.
And as the credits rolled at the end of the movie, I felt increasingly unsettled not because of the quality of the movie, but because one question lingered in my head: What's not to like? Am I crazy for actually being entertained by what I just saw? How could the critics pan what I, and those around me, seemed to enjoy? Okay, so that's more than one question. Since I'm not a slave to snobby film reviewers, I went to go see it for myself despite the negative hype.
It has been called "plodding," "stale," and "uninspired," thus, dashing the hopes of many movie goers who were hoping to see one of their favorite novels brought to life by one of their favorite directors, and starring one of their favorite actors. Last Tuesday, when The Da Vinci Code premiered at the Cannes Film festival, it was met with a chilly reception from the reviewing elite.
