I liked it

Rating: 7/10 (20 May 2006)

I enjoyed the movie.
Of course, the book is better, but most books don't translate 100% to the screen.
My big problem with the movie, and hence my 7 instead of 10, was all the flashback scenes with the crusades and young Sophie. Flashback scenes work well in novels, but don't always don't translate well in movies. This was no exception. The flashback scenes drew my attention away.
Another issue was some of the scenes were so bright that they actually hurt my eyes.
But all in all, I was pleased with the movie. It could have been a lot worse, and it could have been a bit better.
