Blitzkrieg

WC Hall Of Famer

Wait a second... I can understand taking some critics views into account but how can you say the movie was ruined when you haven't seen it?

Mr. Kennedy

Based on critics reviews.

In the end though I will probably end up seeing it anyways because there have been plenty of times when I disagreed with a critics view.

I read it.

I don't trust critics either but everyone who has seen it so far that I have read hated it.

That's not a good sign people.

Mr. Kennedy

Ouch, I just checked Rotten Tomatoes and so far it's averaging 4.3/10 based on 16 critics. Here are some of the comments from critics:

"... it's not very good -- long (2hr.32min.) and mostly inert."
-- Richard Corliss, TIME MAGAZINE

"The film is faithful enough, but it's hard to imagine it making many converts."
-- Owen Gleiberman, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

"A jumble of historical myth, religious symbology and international thriller-action makes for an unwieldy, bloated melodrama."
-- Kirk Honeycutt, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

"... a crackling, fast-moving thriller that's every bit as brainy and irresistible as Dan Brown's controversial bestseller."
-- Lou Lumenick, NEW YORK POST

"An oppressively talky film that isn't exactly dull, but comes as close to it as one could imagine with such provocative material."
-- Todd McCarthy, VARIETY

"... a melodramatic, sometimes lifeless film that is missing the suspense of the popular novel."
-- Claudia Puig, USA TODAY

"... The Da Vinci Code may be controversial and even heretical -- but worse, still, it's plodding, tedious, deathly dull."
-- Steven Rea, PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER

"... Mr. Howard and Mr. Goldsman handle the supposedly provocative material in Mr. Brown's book with kid gloves, settling on an utterly safe set of conclusions about faith and its history, presented with the usual dull sententiousness."
-- A.O. Scott, NEW YORK TIMES

"There's no code to decipher. Da Vinci is a dud -- a dreary, droning, dull-witted adaptation of Dan Brown's religioso detective story ..."
-- Peter Travers, ROLLING STONE

"... competent if only occasionally thrilling."
-- Kenneth Turan, LOS ANGELES TIMES

Did this guy see the same film?

"... a crackling, fast-moving thriller that's every bit as brainy and irresistible as Dan Brown's controversial bestseller."
-- Lou Lumenick, NEW YORK POST

Mr. Kennedy

He actually gave it a positive review, giving it 4/4. So there you go Joe, at least one good review of it.
