Great Interpretation of a Great Book!

Rating: 10/10 (20 May 2006)

Spoilers (If you have not read the book or already seen the movie, do NOT read this)! Its rare that a movie follows the premise of a book, verbatim! For those of you who read the novel, you are in for a treat. True, the movie is not the book, word by word, scene by scene; if it had been, the movie would have been a lot longer than 2 1/2 hours. I think it was very well done, overall. At first, I was disappointed that they had chosen Tom Hanks for the lead as Robert Langdon, I felt it was too old and it was Hollywood's attempt to distort the actual book but he did an excellent job in playing the character. In the interest of time, there were a lot of things that was in the book, not in the movie. I still say, Ron Howard, Well Done!
