pretty good movie

Rating: 9/10 (22 May 2006)

The Da Vinci code was a great book, so when I went out with some friends to see the movie, we all knew it was going to be a good movie. First off, I should make clear that this is a fiction story, meaning NOT true. The book and movie are about a man, Robert Langdon, and Sophie Neveu-a cryptologist for the DCPJ in France, find themselves on a journey in which Sophie's grandfather leaves behind an anagram for Sophie and Robert to decipher-"13-3-2-21-1-1-8-5 Oh Draconian devil! Oh lame saint!" which translated to the Fibonacci sequence, 1-1-2-3-5-8-13-21 followed by Leonardo Da Vinci! the Mona Lisa!" Langdon and Neveu begin their quest here, Langdon wanted by the DCPJ for the murder of the man who left behind the anagram, Jacques Sauniere. He turns out innocent in the end, and the real murderers caught. The movie was quite different from the book in ways, such as the Cryptext, was a large one, with a smaller one inside. In the movie, there was one large one, with the next clue inside. Personally, I enjoyed the ending of the movie much more than I enjoyed the ending of the book, thus the book is better than the movie at some points, while the movie is better than the book at some points.
