Best compliment

Rating: 7/10 (20 May 2006)

The best compliment I can give 'The Da Vinci Code' is this: When I left the cinema last night, _everybody_ was quite when leaving the theater. I think that says enough! Back at the car I still had the creeps from the ending scene.
Lightning, sound, it all came together with my imagination while reading the book. Also most of the characters. However, the most important person (Prof Langdon) didn't fit my expectation. And the chemistry between Tom Hanks and Audrey Tautou isn't the one you would expect when you have read the book.
Nevertheless, the critics in the national (Dutch) papers were not to be called very good. But as a reader of the book, I think the movie kept the speed fascinating. Not to quick and not to slow, well done Mr Howard! And like many other 'critics' at IMDb keep saying: take it as a nice fiction story, forget your theology background and just enjoy...
