Worth watching for all those, who have read the book, mystery for who have not..positive side: people will be curious to know about it and read a good piece of work!!

Rating: 5/10 (3 June 2006)

The terms, like the secret society, holy grail, Sangreal, Rose Line are easy to comprehend for the people who have gone through the book. At least, one has the satisfaction that, all your life you have underestimated your visualization power!! Because for all that you had imagined while reading the book, are on screen. But what is the explanation for those, who have not read the book? What if there was no literary work? It seems, the film is made for people, who are more than casual audience.
The high points of the movie is its direction, cinematography and use of music.Paul Bettany and Ian Mckellen did complete justice to their respective characters of Silas and Sir Leigh Teabing.Robert Langdon played by Tom Hanks did his bit but more than that, he has something called 'reputation'which played its part. But there is one person in the film who was very consistent and was regularly irregular in giving a different expression. She maintained the same look on her face from beginning to end. Introducing Sophie Neveu who is giving new definitions to consistency. But her dialogue delivery and accent came in as her saving grace.
To bring an element of humour in a mystery is not an easy task, but the film has been able to bring what is called situational humour.
The unfolding of the mysteries came in a flash of second. Agreed, it may strike but the acting on the part of Langdon and Sophie while they were on Louvre was very cold.
There is nothing called 'bad publicity' and the controversy created, has been paid well.
