Less controversional and enjoyable

Rating: 8/10 (12 February 2013)

Although this book came out before "The Da Vinci Code" I decide to see this after watching "The Da Vinci Code" since this one came out second in this franchise with the adventures of Robert Langdon. While "The Da Vinci Code" was a bit more entertaining this one is faster paced and goes more in the action/thriller direction. In fact this time the assassin isn't a masochistic psycho but some Jason Bourne like killer from Treadstone. This is a well crafted movie but just isn't as immersive or involving as "The Da Vinci Code". But it will keep most audiences thinking because of certain intuitions. And this one goes in a more realistic direction and has to do with the corrupt Vatican Church vs. the terrorist Illuminati. The ending is kinda cool with it's certain twist. But I wouldn't be shocked if Dan Brown got that idea from a certain graphic novel. But than again the last film in a certain trilogy probably got some ideas from this movies ending as well.
8/10
