the priory, the chalice...the UH?

i deleted the rumusan post because it makes me look stupid or something. +P

i'm not sure why i didn't jot this down before, but hey, i watched the da vinci code! only it was in dvd. obviously pirated. which equals low quality. haha, what a betrayal. but i'm so fed-up, and that tuesday night i was heavily shrouded with boredom. anyway, the dvd was bought weeks ago (but after the release, of course) when i found out the movie was rated 18 above. but, uh..i didn't watch it immediately....thinking that i might watch the movie at the cinemas, which so happens, i didn't.

one word abt the da vinci code, it was unsatisfying. sad, really. you may say i expected too much, well maybe i did, but really..if you are really uninterested about the film, you may go snoring halfway through the movie. the codes seemed really easy to be deciphered, as if jacques sauniere's codes can be unbroken easily just by anybody, provided that they are clever enough or things like that. thumbs up for the special effects, of course. the discover channel-looked effects was rather astounding. i rlly like sir leigh teabing, played by sir ian mckellen. at least he freshen things up. sophie neveu (audrey toutou) looked completely clueless, as if dumb, in this movie which is, i don't know why! totally different from the book. tom hanks did ok as robert langdon, but rather plain looking (and sounding).

and uh, if i'm not mistaken, jacques sauniere really IS sophie neveu's grandfather rite? the movie said they were not related. i was like, wa? and robert langdon wildly claimed that sophie neveu really was a descendant of jesus christ (which is of course, untrue..and the whole scene really made the 'fact' looked absolutely fake). the book didn't state anything like that, at least it didn't state such bold claim directly. but..biaselah...movie adapted from books. but hey, at least dont loose the important keys la.

tom hanks & audrey toutou.

but...if you haven't watched it, just go and enjoy. comparatively it's a good movie. silas (paul bettany) was awesome too. confusingly the movie made andre vernet and bishop aringarosa looked like they were total villains and unrepentive. ngaaa w/ever lah. soundtrack's good, special effects good. erm, B-..maybe? hehe. guess that the year's most anticipated movie turns out to be not that anticipating, eh? i'll get a better dvd anyway. +)
