I saw MI3 two nights ago and I saw the Da Vinci Code tonight. Both movies were decent but definately no master pieces.

MI3 was as expected, a movie with non-stop action... well almost. Tom Cruise did pretty good in the movie all considering, I suppose, but his Sciencology dealings had turned me decidedly against him for a while now. I did not like the female lead, she bores me. I liked the fact they made a turely multicultural agent team. Oh yes, I found the Chinese hilarious. The Cantonese that Chinese woman spoke was so horribly accented. The two Chinese words Tom Cruise said was completely a joke.

As for Da Vinci Code, I have to admit I am somewhat of a Tom Hanks fan. Not an obsessive fan, or course, I mean I don't rush to see his movies, but I definately have a pretty good opinion of him. So for me to say the movie is mediocre says volumes. The over analysis of everything amused me quite a bit. Especially the 'Chalice' symbol. I liked the fact we get to see some nice art pieces. I thought the woman lead was slightly unemotional, but I think English may not be her first language so that may be the language barrier part. Oh yes... Sir Leigh Teabing had a few good lines. I especially liked how he asked three questions in the beginning.
