Da Vinci Code Well Beyond Expectations

Rating: 10/10 (25 November 2006)

I read the book twice, once several months before the movie hit theaters, and the second time to refresh my memory before seeing it. The book was excellent and they kept pretty much to the book. I am a big fan Tom Hanks. I have never known him star in a bad movie in his career. When I learned he was starring in Da Vinci Code, I knew it would be a good movie. And it was. Well worth waiting for. And of course, Sir Ian McKellen, you've got to like him, he's Gandalf! This role was a little different for him, but I still liked it. The visuals, and of course, the acting was great. The storyline, like I said, was great. I know the movie was controversial but I went in not expecting it to be good or bad, just expecting them to keep to the book and to be entertained for two hours. But that is how I go into every movie I want to see. I want it to be good that is why I am paying to see it. The Da Vinci Code will be on my Christmas list this year for a must have.
