why change for sake of change

Rating: 6/10 (9 June 2006)

The acting is EXCELLENT! Exceptionally well cast! The screen play sucked. Why did they say that Saunier wasn't her grandfather? What about her brother? I can understand leaving out threads so the film isn't five hours long, but why alter the book for no reason? Tom Hanks is a brilliantly understated Langdon, and Audrey Tattou is perfect, but again the screen play limits their characters. I attended this movie with someone who hadn't read the book, and they were lost. You cant follow this movie if you didn't read the book, and if you did read the book, you were angry at the changes, particularly the end at Roslyn, and the shortening of the Vatican theme and the changes to the Fache character.
