Well-done Adaption of a great novel!

Rating: 9/10 (20 May 2006)

Here's the thing. The Da Vinci Code is an awesome movie! But, it is only an awesome movie to people who 1. Read the book or 2. Like conspiracy theories, and are interested in Christianity's background. Yet, if you are an avid-movie goer who is looking for the next blockbuster, go away. This is not the film for you. Granted, it is exciting at some points, most of the film is taken directly from the long conversations in the novel.
In the movie, Robert Langdon and Sophie Neveu try to uncover a series of riddles and puzzles that in the end, lead to one of the biggest secrets in history! Supporting characters are Sir Leigh Teabing ( whom is acted out perfectly by Ian Mckellen) and Silas, the albino monk (played by the chilling Paul Bettany ) All in all, this movie is very excellent. The only reasons i stopped from giving it a 10 out of a 10 is because of the length of the movie, and the long dragged out conversations. I do advise everyone that read the book to be aware of some minor changes in the events that happen in the book. I think that changes were merely made to save time and not bore us any longer.. which is kind of disappointing. . . seeing as it shouldn't have bored us in the first place.
So in the end, great adaption, and great cast.. just a little bit shorter of a film would have been perfect.
