Average Book, Better Movie

Rating: 7/10 (9 March 2016)

A murder inside the Louvre and clues in Leonardo paintings lead to the discovery of a religious mystery protected by a secret society for two thousand years -- which could shake the foundations of Christianity.
I read the book when it first came out, and I have to say it was not a great book. It kept me turning pages and was a quick read, but I was catching errors on almost every page. Sure, you could day it is fiction and you can't have errors in fiction. But I disagree. If you are going to weave a convincing tale, at least the foundation needs to be firm, and the book had too many problems that could have been fixed and made a stronger book.
This problem seems to be fixed in the movie, or at the very least it comes off as less of an issue. maybe we are more willing to go along with shaky plots in films? I mean, heck, we let "National Treasure" slide, and it makes even less sense than this film does. We also have the advantage of visuals... we can actually see the so-called hidden message in "The Last Supper", for example.
