Finally got to see The Da Vinci Code.

I have to say that I didn’t hate it.

Of course I don’t think it was a good movie by any measure; but as much as I tried, I couldn’t bring myself to hate it as much as I hated the book. Maybe it’s because I’ve already reached my hating quota for the week. Or maybe most of the things I hated about the book (the flowery words, the inelegant use of the English language, etc.) were not that apparent in the movie. I also attribute my extremely low expectations to my relatively non-lethal feelings about the film.

Having said that, I wasn’t blind to the flaws the movie had. Wooden acting. Heavy handed direction. Miscast actors. All of these were not lost on me. But like I said, they were not enough for me to be hating. Also, I don’t think I can stand another screening of a movie with as many false endings as I have chins.

So I think we’re ready. The chatroom is up, all we have to do is wait for Mike to join us, and we’ll get right to it:
