not just like the book, but good movie

Rating: 7/10 (31 May 2006)

overall the movie was good, and when you haven't read the book you would like the story. i had just finish the book the day that i saw the movie, and almost every minute i noticed that there has been details changed according to the book. the changes were some little and some big. Some of those i could understand because of the time limit they had, but most of them were changed while in the same amount of time they could had shown the scene like in the book. an example is when Lt. collet approached langdon to take him to the Louvre. in the book this happens at night while langdon is asleep in his hotel room and get a phone call from the reception that someone likes to speak with him(this is collet). in the movie collet approached langdon while he is autographing his book after his presentation. the time they used for this scene was enough to do it like it is described in the book. more like this happens in the movie, which i cant use all now.
when you watch the movie without have read the book, you will like it. maybe there is 1 thing that can be disturbing, at least i did find disturbing, it was the speed of the story. every time they found a clue, they knew what it meant or solved it quick.
finally, for the ones who haven't seen the movie, go to the movie because its nice, but don't expect too much of it.
