Setting the record Straight

Rating: 8/10 (22 May 2006)

OK it's time to set things Straight. Since this movie came out I have heard nothing but bad things from critics and a couple of bad reviews from people who have seen the movie.
Anyone who gives this movie a less then average review probably went in thinking this was a bad movie.
In reality this is yet another great movie done by Ron Howard with an all star cast. This movie, in my own opinion lives up to the book almost delivering everything from the passages leaving out only a handful of things out (won't hold it against Ron though).
Now on to what the movie is about. This is a difficult movie to summerize without spoiling so i'll give it a shot.
Essentially, brilliant Symbology professor Langdon (Hanks) is called in by the French equivalent of the FBI, to help identify symbols on the corpse of a murdered Curator at the Lueve, that apparently he made with his last few minutes on this earth. By being brought in to help investigate Langdon is inadvertently pulled into a battle between a secret society guarding something of immense power and a sect of the church that will do anything to destroy this society and what they protect.
