Like 'The Exorcist', the true effectiveness of the whole thing turns on one's own religious precepts. Without a background steeped in church dogma, 'The Exorcist' was in essence just a film about a sick little girl, and 'The Da Vinci Code' is a talky chase movie. The French woman is fine, but Tom Hanks seems as if he's thinking about something else throughout. The original 'base material' book ('The Holy Blood And The Holy Grail', published in 1982) handled the notion of a potentially destructive 'church secret' much better than either fictionalised 'Da Vinci Code' account, and one didn't need to be a card-carrying Christian to be engrossed by the story, either.
