This film is what you expect - a good film that is entertaining, with a powerful lead actor. Tom Hanks crushes it as always. But, the nice surprise is the strength of the supporting actor. They are all talented for sure, but sometimes a movie like this (action/suspense with a strong lead) does not highlight their abilities. But this movie did highlight their abilities. The movie was very entertaining, kept you thinking and there were some surprises too. While this movie is fiction, it is advised if you are a fan of history, this is likely the film for you.

Just wasted 2.5 hours of my life watching this crap. Poorly made, poorly thought out. Basically, a modern day fairy tale that gradually reveals itself through the movie to the point where it reaches fanaticism. At which I promptly turned it off. Cannot believe Hanks actually took this film. Whether it was the script he was given, the direction he was given, IDK, but Robert Langdon was one of the most boring characters I have ever watched.

A murder inside the Louvre and clues in Da Vinci paintings lead to the discovery of a religious mystery protected by a secret society for two thousand years -- which could shake the foundations of Christianity. Although i haven't read the book i found "The Da Vinci Code" movie to be very interesting as a concept and i loved the mystery that was surrounded by but also how it tried to seek the truth threw out the History of Christianity plus Tom Hanks, Audrey Tautou, Ian McKellen and Paul Bettany did a great job and the soundtrack also fit well with the story of the film. Overall this is a movie that indeed stayed away from the book but that doesn't mean that it's a bad film. (8.5/10)

I think the books are fun. They get into issues of art and secret societies going back ages. I'll admit that Dan Brown misses the point sometimes on some of his set-ups. But like most fiction, especially the genre he belongs to (I will throw in the likes of Preston & Childs), there are liberties taken. I'd like to know where those places in Game of Thrones are on our earth. Silly. Well. There is no scientific or historical accuracy in these films. The author created a world where evil has existed for centuries and he makes up a situation where this evil must be circumvented. I think what has happened here is because Dan Brown is not considered a fantasy writer, his work gets attacked as if her were a scholar. That trickles down to the movies and makes people so emotional. I liked the review by the woman and her boyfriend who had never read the book. They were willing to let their prejudices go. I didn't care much for the sequels, but there are other reasons for that. I think Hanks was quite adequate and the move is reasonable.
