X3 vs Da Vinci Code
For this last installment of the X-men franchise [X-men: The Last Stand], new mutants are aplenty and the special effects are awesome. But alas the plot is a disappointment. The director races through the entire movie, concentrating mostly on the battle scenes between the mutants and the soldiers, and showcasing the powers of the many cameo mutants in the process. There is simply no character development at all. However, read from the newspapers that the conflict between mutants and normal humans is often compared to conflicts experienced by minority groups such as Communists, Jews, African-Americans, Homosexuals, Catholics etc. Highly impressed that a comics could actually draw parallels from historical and present events and reflect concurrent social issues in the storyline.
Final verdict:
Plot - ***, Effects - ****, Substance - *****
While the plot for X3 was relatively thin. the storyline for The Da Vinci Code was highly rivetting.Watching the movie is parmount to attending a Bible class, but from a different perspective. It is no wonder that Christian devotees all over the world boycotted the film as the movie attempts to discredit the fundamental faith of the Christianity religion. Whether fact or fiction, the author - Dan Brown is clearly an adept novelist. He must have did alot of research on medieval hostory and events relatng to the Christianity religion in order to pen them into the best-selling 2003 novel.
Final verdict:
Plot - ****, Effects - NA, Substance - ****
Plot - ****, Effects - NA, Substance - ****
