OK if you haven't read the book

Rating: 6/10 (15 May 2009)

Just got back from watching this film, myself having not read the book and my other half who is an avid reader, both coming away with different views. she said it was OK but only covered a partial amount of the actual book and rushed dialoge to set scenes. I came away thinking it was an OK film but confused by a few things especially Vittoria.
OK spoiler time lol what was the point of her in this film, she discovers a dead body an says she can change the battery but other than that does absolutely nothing, she doesn't even end up changing the battery. Apparently she does has a more prominent part in the book but if you want to have a main character with so little to do at least make it proper eye candy not some 7 out of 10 screen filling Anyways bought Da Vinci on DVD the day it came out, think i'll wait for this to hit the bargain bucket before I buy it and thats not just to do with the economic recession :)
