Not a masterpiece but good - The Da Vinci Code Reviews

Without discussing the religious aspects of the film, I'd say the good things about this movie were: 1. Well shot. Included some very beautiful scenes, historical flashbacks, "memories" of the main characters... (especially the flashback of a car accident was impressive!) 2. They have compressed the most interesting material from the book into the movie, so the dialogs were interesting enough. (At least most of them...) 3. There was enough action between the conversations. 4. Actors were good. (But, personally, I don't think Tom Hanks fits this role. And both main characters seemed a little dull to me.) The thing I didn't like: 1. The movie was long and had too many script twists - in the end you just get tired following them. There are at least three points when you expect the movie to end...but it does not... Some script twists and ideas seemed a bit strange, but here the book is to blame, not the movie. The people in the cinema liked this movie, some tried to applause in the end. Overly - the movie is worth watching. Not a masterpiece, but quite good, interesting and filmed well.
