The Da Vinci Code is based on Dan Browns novel (of the same name). Whether you've read the book or not will probably determine what you think of the film. Just like a lot of Book to film adaptations it isn't as good as the book. However, when I first saw the film, I hadn't read the book and I found it to be a pretty good film. Well I must have to have gone out and bought the book. But then watching the film again I realized just how great the book was in comparison. Everything Brown discusses in the book simply cannot be transferred into the film, however the plot does stay very much intact. I personally think the reason this film may have received some harsh reviews is due to their over expectations of the film. When I first saw the film I thought it was very interesting as well as being fairly fast paced and enjoyable. Tom hanks plays the character Robert Langdon very well just too do the rest of the outstanding cast. But now to more detail about the film. Well the film starts off with the murder of a museum curator. Robert Langdon is wrongly accused of his murder and flees the police. However as well as fleeing the police he has the job of following clues left by the dead curator, eventually leading to the holy grail. The film is a fast passed adventure story from beginning to end, full of interesting facts and personally I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys this type of film, you wont be disappointed.
