Doesn't look like The Da Vinci Code is headed for the Academy Awards.

The Da Vinci Code was boring. I was yawning all night, waiting for the appearance of the great Sir Ian McKellen. As soon as he was out of the screen, it was yawnfest all over again. It’s not because I’ve read the book and know how the story progresses (and ends). Truthfully, I thought the book itself was forgettable. I only kept it with me to cross reference it with the more intriguing Holy Blood, Holy Grail. I especially found the Sophie-is-Jesus’-descendant plotline cheesy.

A Roman Catholic discusses church response to The DaVinci Code coming to theaters later this month.

I insist that this is just a personal view, and in no way I want to effect anyone in deciding whether or not to watch the Da Vinci Code movie, but I close by saying that if we believe that we are true Christians and that we have enough strong belief in what we have learnt (and the way we are preaching the religion) I do not see any harm in a two hour movie.
