Good Adaptation from Novel

Rating: 8/10 (2 June 2006)

Dan Brown's book adapted really well to screen. They took some artistic liberties but stuck to the book probably better than any movie out there.
Very few things were cut or simplified.
I think the reviews are kinda mediocre because people are expecting Mission Impossible 3 type action and that just isn't gonna happen.
A Symbolist, a Cryptologist and a Gimp can only get into so much action and adventure. This movie is a mystery and much more cerebral than I think most people want to deal with. I think it was wonderful and Ian Mckellen is the BOMB. He played Tebing wonderfully!!! Paul Bettany played Silas to a T!!!! And there was one part of the movie, just like in the book, where he was ruthless and Bettany did it wonderfully.
There are a lot of players in this movie and a lot is happening. If you think you are up to the mystery of The Grail definitely go watch it!!!
