good movie

Rating: 10/10 (22 May 2006)

I am tired of reading these so called "critics reviews", what do they know anyway?! Probably half of the "critics" have not even read the novel "The Da Vinci Code", that is my feeling anyway. I felt the movie followed the book almost to exactness, of course they had to eliminate a few parts for time sake, (the library scene etc.). I want to give a big thumbs up to Ron Howard, I felt he did a great job! The movie captivated my attention for the full 2 1/2 hrs, (not very many movies can do that). My husband enjoyed the movie and he hasn't even read the novel. Maybe personal beliefs got in the way of the "critics reviews" or maybe it was too complex for some critics to follow, who knows? If you are looking for a movie that makes you think and mentally follow the plot this is the movie for you! I was on the edge of my seat.
