A Little Satisfying.

Rating: 7/10 (16 May 2007)

The Da Vinci Code movie was, in a way, satisfying but if you were a fan of the book, I doubt this would have anything new to give you. I guess the movie is not as awesome as the book as is the case with the other books-turned-to-movies. The movie certainly can't be credited as a "work of art" but it certainly is a huge blockbuster even if it was rated R-18. Who can resist a controversy? The cast is amazing! Audrey Tatou (being one of my favorite actress) is perfect as Sophie Neveau (also one of my favorite fictional characters off all time). Paul Bettany (another of my favorites) played Silas (another fave F.C.) flawlessly (not to mention I got to see him stark naked ::PervertMeTalking:). Sir Ian McKellen (yup, another of my veteran favorites) is greatly convincing as Sir Leigh Teabing (another fave F.C.) and, as always, Tom Hanks plays his character Robert Langdon almost to perfection. Kudos also to Jean Reno for an amazing job playing Fache.
I guess my only complaints are that, if you weren't able to read the book, the plot would confuse you (but I guess that's not much of a problem guessing as almost everybody on this planet HAVE read the book). Plus, it's such a shame that the movie didn't show the reunion between Sophie and her brother. That scene in the book did, in fact, almost made bawl like a baby.
However, I think that the final scene in the movie (when Langdon fell down on both knees on the Louvre after going through the supposed Rose Line) is deeply moving.
