Decent Adaptation of the Novel

Rating: 7/10 (25 May 2006)

When The Da Vinci Code came out, I was Extremely excited 'cuz i was in the middle of reading the book. So, i finished the book (which i must say is very good, Dan Brown's writing kinda sucks, just the plot is good) and my mother and i rushed off to see the film...
The movie began.... It started off following the plot pretty well, but once it got a good way into the movie, the movie strayed from the book's plot... Because of this, a critical part of the book is skipped, and anyone who has read the book will notice it, if they paid attention reading..... So, as i sat there in the theater, drinking my slushie, i started to realize that they skipped the major part, and it seriously confused me! It throws the entire movie off of the plot and into a downward spiral.. Luckily, it slowly gets back on track.... Then, near the end of the movie (dont worry I'm not spoiling the end) it strays once more and it contains events that did not even HAPPEN in the story!!! That REALLY confused me and REALLY TICKED me off... Overall, the movie was pretty good and had some good suspenseful and intense moments.. However, if you really want to understand the movie, I suggest you read the book first before going to see the movie... (Trust me, my friend totally understands that last line...)
