Decent movie if you haven't read the book. Almost unbearable if you have.

Rating: 4/10 (12 June 2019)

The movie, though shot and performed decently, does no justice for Dan Brown's book, upon which this movie is based. If you enjoyed the movie, I would highly recommend reading the book--if you have not done so already. The story told by the book is far more intriguing, thought-provoking, and detailed. Though I did not expect the movie to capture every single element of Dan Brown's rather long book, this movie left out many essential elements that hint to the core of Brown's message and the book's theme. Additionally, the movie did a mediocre job at best of simply following the plot of the book. What's more, all parts that were (clumsily) rewritten were profoundly inferior to their written counterparts in the book. The producers of this movie would have certainly been better off following the masterful story that Dan Brown laid out before them in his book.
