Good but, unfortunately had a lot to ask for

Rating: 7/10 (21 May 2006)

Unfortunately the movie is not overly accurate to the book which was AMAZING!. If I had not read the book ahead of time I would have really enjoyed this film, but being a fan of the original the lack of continuity was a disappointment. The biggest inconsistency was the last 45 minutes of the film. Which took away from the important story information.On the positive side, Tom Hanks was amazing (as always), his portrayal of Robert Lagdon was not lacking what so ever. Audrey Tautou was also wonderful and really captured the character of Sophie Neveau. I also want to comment on Ian McKellen's performance. I felt that he was a very effective Teabing but, was definitely out shinned but Hanks, and finally I would like to applaud Paul Bettany's performance as Silas.The only question I have about his character is "Where are the red eyes?". I thought Albinos had red eyes?
