Tom Hanks Defends 'The Da Vinci Code'
Hollywood actor Tom Hanks has defended his controversial new film �The Da Vinci Code� and has asked its critics not to take it too seriously.

Speaking to London�s Evening Standard, Hanks said: "If you are going to take any sort of movie at face value, particularly a huge-budget motion picture like this, you'd be making a very big mistake."

"We always knew there would be a segment of society that would not want this movie to be shown."

Ever since the film went into production the Catholic film has called for a boycott of the film and in doing so has only increased the publicity surrounding the film and Dan Brown�s best selling novel.

The film tells the story of a cover up within the church about the secret children of Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene, Hanks went on to describe the film as a lot of �fun�.

Self harming monks and bodies in the Louvre is fun?�Intense and mesmerising, yes � but not a whole load of fun really.

�The Da Vinci Code� premieres at the Cannes Film Festival on May 17.
