Rating: 10/10 (20 May 2006)

I don't know why there are so many bad commentaries. Here in Belgium I was one of the first to see the movie on the 17 of may. Maybe Ron Howard shoot of stayed by acting. I know it could better the movie but it isn't that bad. Tom Hanks (as Robert Langdon), Audrey Tautou (as Sophie Neveu), Ian McKellen (Sir Leigh Teabing) and Jean Reno (as Captain Fache) are all great actors. The fact that miss Tautou speaks English with a very bad French accent makes it great. The story is in France, Langdon is a American and don't speaks French so the French speaks English to Langdon, so of course there is a French accent in there English that makes is so great.
Il loved the book and the movie. There are some things that aren't completely the same as in the book, but the story is the same.
I really recommend this movie. If you don't like the book maybe you can enjoy the film. I liked it. I could be better if there was another director. For example Chris Columbus (the first two Harry potter's are still the best till now) or Steven Spielberg one of the best directors. But the choice was Howard, not a bad choice but I think because it is Ron Howard that the reviews are so bad, the story is great. The book is a bestseller in the world.
