Saw The Da Vinci Code last night. It does a lot to mask the terrible writing of the novel but not nearly enough and is about 40 minutes too long. The movie (and the book) should have ended when a certain person is arrested as the rantings of that arrestee create seeds of doubt that would make for an interesting "Lady or the Tiger" debate if the movie ended there. The final revelations are just stupid so they can be easily cut.

I actually enjoyed the movie pretty much from the time they left the Louvre to that arrest. One big question though that I wonder about:

Spoiler:

For a man that apparently knew pretty much everything about the Priory of Sion from their historical origins, there administrative structure, their membership, their artifacts, and so on how did it escape his notice that most of them live within five minutes of a particular church?

Also, how would a DNA test proving relation to a woman in a French sarcophogus (with an unsupported claim she is Mary Magdalene) prove descendency from Christ?
