It was a long time coming, but I finally got around to watching The Da Vinci Code for the first time. Unfortunately it just wasn't all that great. I never read the book and really didn't even know about its existence until the movie first came out. I did think the concept was interesting at the time, but it never really compelled me to see it then or the years after that. I guess the reason why I kept putting this one aside is because I had it in my mind that it would be exactly like National Treasure (http://pennycan.createaforum.com/dvd's-blu-rays/national-treasure-(2004)/msg10644/#msg10644). Now prior to watching The Da Vinci Code, I had told myself that I don't want it to be anything like National Treasure as far as being so over the top outlandish to cave in on itself on pushing the believability factor of the plot.
Well, in hindsight I guess I would have preferred that it was over the top. Code was just a very dry movie that never really kicked into any kind of high gear, but it was never so boring that I would lose my interest watching it. It just didn't do much for me one way or the other. I really can't see myself recommending this to anyone, so chalk this one up as a Skip. Definitely not one of Ron Howard or Tom Hanks best films.
