Da Vinci Code world premier in Geneva: verdict is good but not brilliant

Shanghai, China, and Lasuanne and Geneva, Switzerland had the world premieres of the film Da Vinci Code, although you'll probably read elsewhere that the Cannes film festival in France had that privilege. It's just a louder, noisier place, and gets more attention.

So some of our crowd went to the movie's opening in Geneva at 5:30. Verdict from the amateurs, just regular movie-goers: "It was kind of good, in places. Not great. Not one of the all-time best movies. But not bad."

You heard it here first.
