I loved it!

Rating: 9/10 (19 May 2006)

I personally loved the movie! I don't understand why it's getting so much negativity. Sure its long, but people who say its boring must have ADD. They took the time to fully explain the religious symbology and history behind it all. They didn't throw in some quick two-minute summary without offering the viewer and depth to it. The only thing that bugged is that with any controversial claim made, there was always someone there to make a rebuttal. I guess that appeals to those who disprove of the movie and its proposed theories.
The acting was very good. Ian McKellen played his part perfectly, and then some. He lite up the screen with his part. Audrey Tautou was also amazing, playing her part perfectly. Jean Reno played Fache extremely well. Many have said that Hanks as Langdon was a bad choice, but I thought he pulled it off just fine. I saw the trailer before reading the book, so I had Hanks in my mind already. I think he's a great Langdon.
The pace of the movie was, I thought, really good. They switch away to other events happening, yet do it at perfect times. Everyone gets enough screen time, and the plot is layed out for everyone to understand. Overall, this movie was amazing. Sure, not as good as the book, but a great movie. Don't listen to critics, don't let reviews stop you from seeing this. I encourage everyone to see it, especially if you liked the book.
