When I saw the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rottentomatoes.com\/m\/da_vinci_code\/\">horrible reviews<\/a> the film was getting, I almost couldn&#8217;t believe it.  I can&#8217;t remember ever seeing a Ron Howard film I didn&#8217;t like, so I thought I&#8217;d give it a shot.  The film does a good job of presenting the story without demonizing the church.  There are only 2, maybe 3 truly evil characters in the film.  Obviously (to anyone who has read the book) the albino monk, as well as his boss at Opus Dei and a shadowy character know as the Teacher.  Overall, I thought all of the actors played their roles extremely well.  So, if you have an open mind, check it out and I&#8217;m sure you won&#8217;t be disapointed.  And even if you don&#8217;t, it&#8217;s just a movie folks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Granted, I haven&#8217;t read the book, but I thought The DaVinci Code was a great movie.
