Warning: Slight spoilers in this post if you haven't seen the movie.
I saw the DaVinci Code this weekend. I was hoping I would like the movie given all the hype (I haven't read the book), but overall I found the movie unbelievable. The way a man who was fatally shot was able to leave a complicated coded message, the way the main characters constantly escaped harm (pigeons flying at the bad guys, bullet case lodged in the door, etc.)
I did like Ian McKellen's performance (much better than Tom Hank's) and the fascinating idea of Mary Magdalene being the Holy Grail.
