Better adaptation than The Da Vinci Code...

Rating: 8/10 (17 May 2009)

After watching the trailers and hearing good things from the movie, i decided to go watch it. For those who have read the novel, may find that there are a few differences in a couple scenes. The setting of the film was in Vatican City, Rome, Italy. As much as they weren't allowed to film inside the Vatican, they did a fairly good job at simulating the setting with the computers etc. What I would recommend to those who are planning to watch the film, and have not read the novel beforehand, I would suggest that you pay close attention to what they are saying. There are some information which the book talks about which are not mentioned in the film, hence some viewers may be a bit confused. In the film, the style and speed of which the characters solve riddles/mysteries is a bit too fast and not detailed enough. However, the film still stretched to 2hr and 20mins!
All-in-all it is a big improvement from The Da Vinci Code!
