And while I don' think the DaVinci code was a great movie by any measure I don't think it was of the same ilk as say MI III. I think the intention at the very least was to make a good movie. But as long as people go to formulaic blockbuster movies the machine will indeed keep making them. Support qualitiy movies by going to them while they have a theatrical release. That is a way in which we will get more of those.
Follow Ups:
The latest MI installment was actually the best of the three and, surprisingly, a more cohesive film than The Da Vinci Code (at least the character's actions made sense & at times seemed more believeable). The third Mission Impossible flick, with one or two exceptions in TDC, has superior acting across the board. BTW, I almost hate to say this because I don't particularly LIKE these Tom Cruise vehicles and found the first two terrible. I had to be dragged to this third outing and expected the worst; it was a pleasant surprise.So, rhetorically speaking, if you're wondering what I liked best about Ron Howard's lackluster Da Vinci Code, ...it was the Smart car used in the first getaway! :o)
I'd like to see more high quality films made from well received literary sources as well, but if in the transition from book to movie they end up like TDC, pretentiously executed with uneven performances, they won't connect with the viewing public regardless of who directs and/or acts in them.
Cheers,
AuPh
