packed it all in

Rating: 9/10 (22 May 2006)

I was surprised at how many elements of the book they packed into the movie. I wish there could have been more cohesive scene shots of the major architectural locations it was hard to tell if they were real or a set. In the Louvre they could have done some extra shots of the treasuries hidden inside. I had to laugh at the Itty Bitty cars they drive in Paris.I wasn't sure Tom Hanks could pull of the role but he did it justice. The character of Sophie Nevu was caught splendidly, although her memories of her grandfathers ceremony should have been longer. All the other characters except Aringosa were fabulous. This a great STORY and it deserves time on the big screen.
