This is a great movie!

Rating: 10/10 (21 May 2006)

I'm always cautious about movies based on popular books because some Directors go off in a totally different direction than intended by the Writer. Not so in this case. I think Ron Howard did an excellent job staying true to Dan Brown's story.....and yes folks...it is a story. But with usual movie time constraints he had to skim over some details that might have cleared up a few things for people who have not read this book. I think Tom Hanks was his usual great self and Audrey Tautou was wonderful and Ian McKellen was great for some comic relief. Religious controversy aside this was a great movie, it's too bad that some people take fiction too seriously! Religious zealots don't seem to understand that they are giving this movie its greatest publicity..
