It was more than i expected it.

Rating: 7/10 (14 June 2006)

I have read the book and watched the movie. Before i watched it i had my opinion of Tom Hanks playing Langdon. I questioned as to why Hanks was chosen as i would have picked other actors that would have fit the Langdon character better.I somehow pictured Langdon to be taller. Before watching the movie I thought that the character Silas was done brilliantly and from the trailer, i saw that Paul bettany was the perfect actor to play silas. he was everything i imagined him to be. When i watched the movie, i found that Tom Hanks was good. He played Langdon very well and Paul Bettany was brilliant as Silas. Most of the things i imaged it to be was magically transformed into life like the cryptext. Exactly how i imagined it!Somehow i feel that Alfred Molina was not the right actor for Aringarosa. Aringarosa was suppose to be more down to earth and friendlier. Does it makes sense? Anyway i was quite happy with the movie. There were some parts in the book that wasn't featured in the movie but they captured the gist of it. I like the idea that those who haven't read the book can also understand it. I love the part when Tom hanks was solving the anagrams, that was brilliantly done without having to explain what an anagrams mean. The session with Teabing and when they were explaining the Last supper. That was done really well.I was a bit disappointed when Sophie's character in the movie was not dominantly displayed as compared to the book where she has more say in things. Overall it was a good movie and a great book!
