The Da Vinci Code

First off I always love the book much more than the movie, there are nuances and time lines etc..that cannot be instilled in 2-3hrs of film.
With that said Ron Howard did justice to Dan Brown's novel.
All the important action and events were there. Although the character's backgrounds were lost and only a slight vision/scene of the Priori ritual is shown. The fact that the last cathedral is in Ireland is completely missed, but as Ron Howard knew, it really doesn't make much difference!
Sir Ian McKellan and Tom Hanks played their roles fittingly that I cannot think of anyone better in them.
The creepy thing was that Audrey Tautou is exactly the vision of Sophie! Great work in all!
The film was exceptional! Great screenplay, photography and I was especially surprised to find that Dan Brown had composed and played a piece of music in the film. Things like this are missed by most who are too lazy to sit and view the end credits and notice some very interesting points about the film.
It also gives respect to all those who worked on the film. I always watch them, at least the first time of a film viewing.
My only complaint would have to go back to Dan Brown and all lazy persons that do not make an effort on better language skills.
If they had then the title would have been the Leonardo Code as that Da Vinci-properly spelled da Vinci means of Vinci.
Leonardo as everyone knows was a bastard child and thus didn't have a father to give him a last name as was the custom. So he was Leonardo of Vinci the city!
So to say da Vinci is stupid because you are saying of Vinci! Many people are from therefore of Vinci!
It's like all the uneducated Christians using Christ as if it were Jesus' last name. It's NOT! It's a title meaning Messiah!
