Read the book first or you wont be able to follow the movie at all.

Rating: 2/10 (23 June 2006)

I, as many others, read the book and loved it. Dan Browns story is brilliant, choking (in a good way) and also a bit funny.
Now for the movie...To me it was a huge disappointment and I left the theater 1h 40 min into the movie. I really tried to see the whole thing but I just could'nt spend a minute longer watching this junk. So what was so disappointing with the movie? Well first of all there is'nt a scene in the entire movie that is the same as it is in the book, not a single one! The cast is also very disappointing to me. Tom Hanks makes Prof. Langdon seem as interesting as watching a flower grow.
The only character who I'm happy with is Ian McKellens character, Teabing who he plays very well and captures his charm and wit from the book.
Another disappointing, and very very annoying thing is that the scenes are over very quickly and you miss out on the interesting "facts" about, well everything really. An example is when they're all on the plane and try to figure out what the password is to the kryptex, and it is written in a language they've never seen before...In the book you read several pages about it and how the try to figure it out. In the movie Prof. Langdon figures it out in 2 seconds! I mean come on Ron Howard have you even read the book!? Really irritating...It's not believable for a second.
Oh well they made a lot of money.
So I say read the book first because if i had'nt then I would'nt have understood a thing what was going on. Although if you already have then you will end up leaving the theater early like I did.
