Thoughts on "The DaVinci Code"

So I saw the movie last night. First impression-decent movie, entertaining, and a little long. Most exciting film I've ever seen-not by a long shot. Most compelling Tom Hanks performance-no. Story line-interesting but the end was very predictable. Will this movie cause viewers to question the divinity of Jesus? Maybe-but only if they are completely uninformed of the fictional aspects of this story.

Do I think this is a disastrous blow to the Church? If Tom Cruise and his scientology and Madonna and her Kabbalah only cause people to view them as crazy, I'm pretty confident that a lackluster movie by Opie Taylor is not a threat. Calm down Catholics, it's all good in the hood.
