The Da Vinci Code is a great action/adventure movie for those with an open mind or those with a love of excitement!Tom Hanks does a great job of portraying the symbologist/sleuth!And, Ron Howard, again, reveals his great abilities as a director!Despite the hoopla created by the media and the extremists, the idea of the Jewish Rabbi, Jesus, having a "relationship" with the disciple/priestess, Mary Magdalene, is not a new one. (I'm personally aware of at least 3 books on the subject - not all are fiction.)Dan Brown enveloped his exciting and very well written fictional story around known historical figures, unsolved mysteries, a damsel in distress, ancient conspiracies, and an innocent by-stander turned hero. What more could you ask for in a movie?!
