The Da Vinci Dud

I had this whole blog entry planned outlining how inaccurate the Da Vinci code was in it's portrayal of both Christianity and the Catholic Church, but you know what? It is not worth it. They tried to stir up contraversy and anger in and among the religious communities and it just didn't work. Like arrows bouncing off of armor, ( to steal a comparison from Pastor Tim.) So instead I will share some main stream movie reviews I found online at "rottentomatoes.com"

"The script explains everything twice, spelling out the big words three times, so that even if you've never heard of Jesus or Mary Magdalene you can still figure out this story"

"For people who insist that the movie is never as good as the book, your case just got stronger."

"You know a movie's a dud when even its self-flagellating albino killer monk isn't any fun."

"Frankly, it's a stinker."

"Every time [Tom Hank's character] starts to educate [the female lead's character] the urge to tune out is overwhelming."

"No it's not as bad as you've heard, it's worse."

"How dark the con of Ron - The DA Vinci Code plays sort of like National Treasure with all the fun sucked out of it."

"Heaven help me, I can't resist spilling the beans of Brown's hysterical heretical history: It was Professor Plum in the Vatican Library with a lead chalice."

"Who knew controversy could be so dull?"

"Bad enough to offend even an athiest."

"The most controversial thriller of the year turns out to be about as exciting as watching your parents play Sudoku."

"The film is faithful enough, but it's hard to imagine it making many converts."

And finally, I am happy to report that People Magazine is reporting DVC as worthy of only 1 1/2 stars. (I think even Dude, Where's My Car got 2.) The media's attempt to create drama and furor seems to have fallen flat on it's face. Again.
