Be that as it may, screenwriter Akiva Goldsman wisely places all of the necessities of the storyline into play and even adds a nice tidbit (about a well accident) that initially impairs, and then later renews, the protagonist.
The bottom line is this — knowing what to expect from this “controversial” film is the ticket to appreciation. Then again, for some, any preconceived anticipation could result in an unfavorable opinion. Of course, this could be said for any book-to-motion-picture adaptation, but considering The Da Vinci Code is now the second best-selling book right behind The Bible, more oomph can be applied to this statement.
Nonetheless, The Da Vinci Code fares well under the monikers of thriller and summer blockbuster. Only the offended and the unaware possess the remote possibility of exiting the theater unsatisfied. In brief, The Da Vinci Code is as exhilarating and entertaining an adaptation as anyone could ask for out of Dan Brown’s best-selling novel.
