A good movie, but a better novel

Rating: 7/10 (27 December 2018)

The Da Vinci Code is a good movie, but it's a better novel. I'll be the first to admit that it's not easy to cram 454 pages into a 148-minute story, though. Tom Hanks and Audrey Tautou are kind of bland in their roles, which is why Ian McKellen steals every scene he's in - he's having fun. Even with its flaws, this is an interesting an engaging ride through the world of history and folklore.
