I have never read the book The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown which has been #1 on the bestsellers list for a long time so my review might be generous.As I left the theater when I saw it I heard a couple of people say that the movie missed a lot of parts from the book.For people who did not read the book this movie will be really good.Its a good thinking movie with an excellent plot,great acting from Tom Hanks and everyone else in the cast.However be warned that the subject matter might offend some people.They say in the movie that *spoilers* Jesus married Mary Magdalene,they had children and Mary was not a prostitute *end of spoiler*.This subject matter probably will offend the really strict Christian fanatics.Thats why the film has caused some controversy.This film has many surprising twists in it as well.Now for the plot.Robert Langdon is a professor who gets picked up by some policemen and asked to look at some engravings in a mans body.Then him and the granddaughter of the murdered man escape from police because she tells Robert that he is in great danger.The two escape police and look for a friend of Roberts who owns a castle.This man knows many things about Leonardo Da Vinci's paintings and codes.He explains the painting of Jesus's the last supper.Also there is an albino man who is part of a group called Opus Dei claiming to be an angel and kills sinners.He tries to murder Robert Langdon and his friends.They all then try to figure out the code which opens the holy grail.The Da Vinci code is a great movie with surprising twists,great acting and a great plot.I recommend seeing the film in theaters.However as I said before I heard the movie isn't as accurate as the book and the subject matter might offend some people.
