As good as the book

Rating: 6/10 (5 June 2006)

I'm a very big fan of both books and movies, and i have read all of Dan Brown's novels. The movie is a great adaptation of the book, that's exactly how you picture the da vinci code would be. But also as the book, it is not such a great thing, it has some very strong images in it and a great cast starring Tom Hanks, Audrey Tautou, Ian McKellen and other great actors, but it offers nothing new. If you've read the book you'll find the movie even more commercial, never in the book Robert Langdon finds out Sophie Neveu is in the line of the blood of Christ, and it never assures that the holy grail is in fact the tomb of Mary Magdalene, but adding those things to the movie is just a way to make the movie more controversial, cause all Ron Howard cares is to make as much money as possible.
I'll say it is a very entertaining movie for those who haven't read the book yet, but if I would have to see a blockbuster popcorn movie (because that's what it is) i'd pick a better one like the amazing X3.
