| Review: The movie is better than I expected. It is well adapted from the same-name novel by Dan Brown, which was a best-seller because it was easy to read and presented history in a way that talked to everybody, even though the facts were altered to fit the story. None of Hanks, Tautou or Reno overplay like they can usually be said to do. The movie is a bit less attractive when you know the story already. Also on the negative side some ellipses are not justified, so that the story is hard to believe sometimes. It was probably necessary to remove details from the book to fit the length of 2h20, already quite long. VOD was the right format for this film I didn't want to buy, although a bit dark for a movie that takes place mostly at night. I will watch its sequel Angels&Demons in the same format |

I saw this movie in the theater, because I heard so much about the book, that a movie could not be so bad, at least without having read the book! Finally, it was ok. The production was good, because the locations have been well enhanced. The story and the explainations were ok, even if in the book, it must have been better. But I did not find the rythm to get cought by the movie. This gets a 5/10.
