The Greatest Cover-up on movie history

Rating: 4/10 (23 May 2006)

*SPOILER*SPOILER*SPOILERS* As all who read the book I saw the movie with great expectations, although mixed with the anticipation of Hollywood part on hmm lets say lower the quality of the storyline. But knowing the cast especially to m\hanks and his Oscars , and the director Ron Howard a man who directed v.good movies like beautiful mind , and Cinderella man ,and his partner (seems to be ) writer Akiva Goldsman ,I expected to be happy with the finale scene But apparently I wasn't very. Away from all the religious debates going on, away from all the hustles. Let be honest Mr. Howard and Mr. Akiva , made so many mistakes on this moving it turned at some points to become disappointing , i.e. (in my opinion ) un necessary change of places ) why did they picked up Langdon while signing the book which was actually his hotel room ( it could've been done to fit the movie and still be faithful to the book ) the ride to the museum why not showing few little seconds of the scenery while Langdon thinks things over ,small dialogues and comments made by Langdon to several characters and if you read the book you'll see that in the movie the characters were actually doing nothing why not the small talk and I mean like the comment about the symbol the detective was wearing when he met Langdon at the Louvre it would've took 30 seconds just to do this conversation But I think the film crew was busy making a movie we didn't watch, or maybe enjoying the journey to Europe The book was a great mystery from start to end, always talking about riddles and clues and symbols and anagrams. But not yet revealing anything that would harm the ending surprises and the momentum build up But hmm at the movie they decided to let Mr. Langdon just literally say it on so many occasions Like just after 30 mins or so into the movie when he tills Sophie that her grand father was preparing her with all the puzzles and games hmmm (very insightful and intelligent), they actually almost destroyed all elements of surprise
then again when they arrive at the chapel and ( oh crap ) they easily magically find the place where the grail was ( where was that on the book ) as naïve as movies can get Langdon looks at the newspaper and discovers that hmm her grand father wasn't really her grand father ( hmmm yeah ) WHY ) what benefit the movie gained by twisting the story at this point ( hmm absolutely none ) then a disaster < Langdon again with a drawing on the wall finds out and till Sophie that she's Jesus descendant ( on another word grand daughter ) again whyyyyyyyyy even if the book hinted it , it wasn't ever meant to be literally announced ( I find it very dumb ) when I 1st read the book I knew that what ever was Dan browns believe or findings , the book wasn't about then , even though he hinted some of it , but the book was pure thriller and a great fiction Oh will I need not to go any further I hate to say this ( as a great fan of the book ) but Dan browns da'vinci code was an amazing journey adventure and its no where to be found on Ron Howard's movie
I believe 6 is fair enough rating for it
