i felt that the changes between the book and the movie were fairly distracting, and took away from the movie. maybe i'm just being too picky towards the details but still took away from the movie for me. if you've never read the book i'm sure you'll love it though.

It's a good movie to watch for those who haven't read the book; and really disappointing for those who have already read the book, and left out the most interesting details of the book.

This was a much better adaptation of Dan Brown's novel, compared to the first attempt in DaVinci Code. If you had not read the book it would have kept you guessing who the "demon" or "bad guy" was right up until it is revealed. The city of Rome was wonderful to see and the acting was...well how can you say anything bad about Tom Hanks.

excellent movie, lots of mystery, suspense, some action. I'ts a must if you like mystery or suspense movies

Wed May 13 - I attended the VIP screening of this 138-min movie-adaptation of the novel by Dan Brown - directed by Ron Howard - starring Tom Hanks, Ayelet Zurer, and Ewan McGregor. Because I've read the novel I had really high expectations for this movie. I enjoyed Ron Howard's direction and I thought the cinematography (Salvatore Totino) was excellent - the sets were AMAZING. However, too many liberties were taken with the movie-adaptation that... totally re-portrayed revamped a few key characters; resulted in a few plot changes; shifted focus on certain current issues; changed keys events. If you've never read the novel - all should be well, fine & dandy. BUT, if you've read the novel - you'd be incensed outraged by the resulting 'mangled' movie-adaptation. Movie adaptations should stay faithful to the original source - period. VERDICT: Fans of Dan Brown be forewarned - this movie could have been MUCH better. Recommended for it's visual appeal and direction.
