The screenplay followed the book perfectly.

Rating: 7/10 (21 May 2006)

The movie was slightly above average. The acting was average. Tautou was better than I expected. Directing was OK. I thought the screenplay was, as a whole, well written. Let's face it, Dan Brown isn't the best writer in the world. (He's no Arundhati Roy.) What made the book worldwide bestseller is the fact that his subject matter was so thought provoking. I learned, subsequently, about the Gnostics, whom I never heard of before.
Can we at least agree that the critics were wrong in bashing this film as much as they did? They were hoping to see a great movie and they were disappointed. Wah wah!!
