But...

If I were to compare Dan Brown to a Rocky movie, I would say he'd be Rocky V.
Rocky won the Best Picture Academy Award in 1977 up against All the President's Men, Bound for Glory, Network, and Taxi Driver. I've considered the Academy Awards a joke as far as artistic merit ever since. I've yet to see any Rocky movie that wasn't basically a repeat of the first. But than I've refused to see any beyond the first three no matter how much pressure was put on me by current lovers, friends, or family.
