If you liked the book, you'll like the film !

Rating: 10/10 (19 June 2006)

There are too many people out there willing to strike you down for enjoying this movie - it is a good yarn, one which I would suggest is very true to the book. I especially liked the way the complex part of the book (in Teabing's office) was illustrated with ease - this is the influence and forte of Howard. Sir Ian stole the show with Tom Hanks and Audrey Tatou as bystanders (as it was in the book) as Leigh Teabing and Paul Bettany produced acting displays worthy of any Shakespearean ensemble. Hats of to the whole cast though, their parts were magnificently transferred from the book to the big screen effortlessly and I hope I'm not being presumptuous, but I believe the cast had studied the book closely before preparing their parts.
Well done ! J
