Da Vinci Code -- Zaadz Project

I'm going to regret this.  But I'm kind of grumpy at the moment.   

I just saw the Da Vinci code and the more I think about it, the less I like it.

I know that who got to write and direct it was mostly about who had the pull to acquire the rights when it mattered, but, geez, imagine if it had been made by a director with a talent for imagery or a writer with imagination.

How to put it.... the movie was one long explainer scene.  No attempt to build anticipation.  Just a lot of, "Hey, look at this.  This means this," followed by a chase scene. 

I thought the coolest parts of the book were the grand riff on history and the secret meanings of common symbols.  But that was tossed out. 

The alibino was the only character with any emotional heat.

Well, anyway...

Z@@DZ is my rating.  The churches were pretty and Paul Bettany did a good job.   

This helped rinse the taste out of my mouth.
