Unfortunately,,,, Very disappointing!!!!

Well.. first of all I have to say that I love the book, it's awesome, when you read it, you really get into it and you can almost "live" the story.
I was desperately waiting for the film, I thought it was going to be great, but I'm afraid that's not true.
During the first 15 minutes they tell almost half of the book, and the characters solve the codes so easy!! that you just can't believe it... completely different to the book... Silas character doesn't behave as he should. he is shown just as a murderer, and not as the one complicated person who lives this 'blind faith''.
The film changes some things that should not be changed. unnecessary action scenes,and many many MANY things are excluded...
I think it's a poor film, done for the understanding of a 10 year old child. Even though it's got great actors, it just couldn't convince me.
I just felt like watching one of those films you watch in a lazy Sunday, those you don't mind whether they exist or not.. I expected one of the biggest films in history. unfortunately i didn't get what i wanted...
Please, DO NOT ever think the film is similar to the book, if you think it's awful read the book, if you think it rules, please PLEASE READ the book...
