Nice but the book was better

Rating: 8/10 (8 November 2006)

At the film festival in Cannes the critics destroyed this movie. I personally think that they are wrong.
The Da Vinci Code movie is not as good as I expected but its quiet nice. I read the book a few months before the movie came in theaters and was truly amazed. The book was very exciting, filled with action and suspense. So of course I could not wait for the movie to come out. I went to see the movie in its opening weekend at my local movie theater.
The movie turned out to be a nice action/thriller but was not as exciting as the book. The book explained every detail and the movie rushed through all the facts. Those facts are quiet important to understand the whole story. The Da Vinci Code has got a magnificent cast. Tom Hanks really looks like what I imagined of Robert Langdon and Ian McKellen does a great job as Sir Leigh Teabing.
I recommend everybody to see this movie.
My rating: 8/10
