Much better than the book



I might be one of those very very few people who loved this movie and absolutely hated the book. Usually, I second with those people who argue that a movie can never completely capture the style and feel of a book. But with Danbrown's Da vinci code there is neither style nor any feel.
I thought only Sidney sheldon was the writer who inspite of writing stupid and inane books got away with fame and recognition. But Dan brown is not even half as good as him.

I had no problems with the historical research of Mr.Brown but his storystelling was plainly bad. But I waited for this movie for so long as I wanted to see how a good director like Ron howard would handle such an inane script and he does not disappoint.

hmmm...i think this author has a screwed up alter ego. the attitude of the text is so brash! the guy's some intellectual rambo at his best. a mystery that has lain hidden for 2000 yeras is solved within a span of 24 hours.
