I'm copying this right off my xanga, so perhaps it might not make perfect sense but...
The Da Vinci Code
In the tradition of almost all movies, The Da Vinci Code is almost nothing close to the book. However, obviously the original plot was there still. With a length of 2 and a half hours, I was very frightened that this movie would get really boring, really fast, but, quite on the contrary, the time flew. Sure, there were major discrepencies between the book and the movie, but that's not what's important. What's important is that they took a good book, and, in my opinion, made an even better movie. This movie is definently slightly watered down to please both their Christian fans, and their non-Christian fans, and really, I prefer it that way. Much easier for me to swallow, and I hope I don't sound like an 1)religious nut, 2) religious loser.
But really I can not leave out that fact, that as horrible as I said Tom Hanks was for a choice to play Robert Langdon, I was sadly mistaken. He was fantastic, and in my opinion stole the whole movie. All the casting was good really. Ian McKellen, was just perfection. The only person I wasn't quite pleased with was Sophie.
As many of you know, I do NOT like Ron Howard's films, but I must say, with the film version of Da Vinci Code, I'm certainly starting to come around to him.
Anyway, I loved that movie to death, and I sorta liked it better than the book, which as I am currently reading Angels and Demons, I am finding out is not the greatest book ever written (Da Vinci Code that is, I
A&D)
Anway, that's my two cents on that movie
9/10
Oh and the end...the end of that movie makes my heart flutter
definently my favorite ending of any movie I've ever seen. Mostly because when I read the book that was exactly how I pictured that scene to be, orchastra, slow motion knee-drop and all. Dan Brown wrote the epilogue for the movies
