A good experience in general, but it lacks on fidelity

Rating: 6/10 (30 December 2015)

I've read the book and it was the most remarkable, genuine and intelligent experience I have ever had. Despite English isn't my mother tongue, and I haven't read thousands of books to firmly assure my point of view, I can emphasize that Dan Brown's talent and noticeable dedication worth the applause. This movie adaptation, though, hasn't aroused the same feelings and motivation the book had; for me, it seemed incomplete. I think it lacks on fidelity to the original story. Of course, a movie isn't a perfect portrait of a book or vice-versa, but I honestly disagree with some changes to the original story made in the movie. Also, some actors designed to the role seemed kind of misplaced. I understand the need to shorten the story and to drop some aspects of it, but I don't agree with some additions put in the script. I had the impression of an amateur film based on a masterpiece. At last but not least, the soundtrack is superb. Hans Zimmer, as always, proved himself a master. I personally liked Tom Hanks as Robert Langdom, and I really liked the usage of French and Latin in the dialogues. The film itself can be a great experience for those who haven't known the story yet and are looking for a clever narrative, but it may be disappointing for those who read the original novel. *Please, disregard any English mistakes in this post.
