An overall good film

Rating: 9/10 (19 November 2011)

OK, I am only going to speak about this movie...as a movie, not relating or commenting on the religious aspects of it. So this being stated, here I go.
I liked the movie because it is a mystery film. It really makes you think about the riddles in it and you actually try to solve them and, in a way, you become the characters played by Tom Hanks and Audrey Tautou. Although I must say that the performance Hanks offered us was...not bad but not great, just my opinion. On the other hand I didn't only love Ian McKellen's character but I thought he gave the best performance in this film.
I did think the action in the film was rushed in a way. You can't compare the book with the film. And saying this I mean the movie is almost great, but the book was just amazing. I recommend you read the book first and then watch the movie. But everyone can do it their way.
One final thing I have to add is that the movie would've been a matinée if not for the great soundtrack composed by Hans Zimmer. So, 9!!
