Advantages: Tom Hanks is a great actor, excellent storyline Disadvantages: The book is better
After reading the book, I was absolutely thrilled that it was being made into a film, same as The Da Vinci Code, although I was unsure of what to expect as the book was very long.
Tom Hanks stars as the protagonist of the film again, following on from the Da Vinci Code. In this story, there is lots of different settings, ranging from high-tech laboratory's to the old streets of Vatican City.

Some would say that it?s easy to direct a film that was a book, however I think its even harder, You have to make the film suspenseful, people who read the book might no the outcome of the film, but if you put enough thought into it you can still make the intrigued.
