Movie Review: DaVinci Code

by Kate

I think that this is one of those movies where you keep shoving popcorn in your mouth because it’s so thrilling. At least that’s what I did. In the beginning, Jacques Saunière, the curator of the Louvre is forced to his death by the utterly creep albino, Silas. Silas works for Opus Dei, a prelature of the Catholic Church. The Chief of police, Bezu Fache contacts, Dr. Robert Langdon, a professor visiting Paris for a conference. Langdon, then goes to the Louvre, where he meets Agent Sophie Neveu, who is Saunière’s granddaughter. She thinks that he left a code for them to figure out. This code leads them on a wild chase through out Europe. Little do they know, their chase is just the start of a huge mystery that has been going on for ages.  Jacques Saunière was a member of the Priory of Sion, an ancient society.

I don’t wish to give away the whole story, but I just want to say that I think the end was a bit off. The whole movie builds up to this amazing height and then it just stops. It’s sort of like they give up. Sofie and Robert find some papers dating back to the time when Jesus Christ was crucified.

Langdon then figures out where their ‘treasure’ is. He never actually finds it and digs it up, but you just know, that he’s found where it is.

It’s definitely a movie to see.
