If you read the book first....INCREDIBLE

Rating: 10/10 (20 May 2006)

I went into this movie expecting it not to live up to the book. Which it didn't- but could ANY movie live up to the book? The movie depicts the story and does an outstanding job of balancing the amount of Religious history, symbols and a plot-twisting nail biter.
If you look at the movie and watch carefully for symbols with an open mind, the movie will fascinate and amaze. There are even surprises for the millions of Da Vinci code readers.
However, keep in mind that you will find the movie boring and confusing. The book was so intense that the movie would have to be even longer than its 2.5 hours. They remove the details, which is what creates the confusion.
In summary: don't go in expecting an edge of your seat thriller. Read the book and go to see a movie depiction of what you have read. Then you will find it absolutely amazing. Quite possibly the best movie I have ever seen. Don't always listen to the critics.
