The Da Vinci Code

Rating: 7/10 (28 May 2006)

I am a child of 13 years old. And last summer, while i was on holiday in the amazing place of Rome, my older sister was just finishing the Da Vinci code, and quite frankly, i wanted to see what all the fuss was about. So yes, that very day i started reading it. And I'm very glad i did. I did not only enjoy the book, but i couldn't put it down! Yes in some parts on the book it may be very far fetched, but if you were to weight that out with the fascinating parts, you would be out weighted. So you can also imagine how excited i was when i found out the film was coming out. And the second day it was out, me and my 2 older sisters went to go and watch it. And the one thing i was very clear about was that i would be extremely annoyed if the movie did not portrayal the book in any way shape or form. And i was not disappointed. Paul Betteny, who play Opus Dei monk, was a very chilling character, and one of the best in the whole movie. But on a a unpleasant note, i do feel there was no real connection between Robert and Sophie. But despite that, it was very good. In the book, some parts are played up to much bigger than they are in the film, but then if the movie went into huge amounts of detail, if would for sure be at least a 4 hour film, so again that cannot be helped. Over all this film was good, i did enjoy it very much. It will have you thinking for days after, i recommend it. But you should read the book first!
