Excellent...If you didn't read the book...

Rating: 8/10 (19 May 2006)

Even though I read the book, I rather enjoyed most of it. Maybe that's because I'm a history major in college and this stuff seems cool to me. In the movie Tom Hanks sort of matched my perception of Dr. Robert Langdon in the book. However, a few of my friends disagreed. Ian McKellen plays a magnificent role and steals every scene he is in. Jean Reno also matched the exact description and played the role of Captain Fache to a "T". The movie was slow at some parts and seemed like an adult version of hunting on a wild goose chase. I would recommend seeing this movie if you read or didn't read the book. I gave the movie a rating 8/10 because it entertained me while I was there, but I would not buy the movie when it comes out on DVD.
