Lightweight entertainment
A reasonably entertaining way of passing 2 hours and twenty minutes. The story itself is recycled from various conspiracy theories and highly improbable but works as a mystery. I haven't read the book so can't judge how closely the film follows the book. Tom Hanks is a bit wooden for me, Sir Ian is a mad Gandalf on crutches and Paul Bettany flagellates himself with vigour.

Excellent Da Vinci code
I started watching this wondering ,if after reading the book the film would live up to my expectations.It started a bit slow but built up to a brilliant film,full of plots and quests.The characters i had imagined in the book were very true to life in the film and i would recommend this film to all of you who love plots and hidden secrets.

What's the controversy? IT'S JUST A GOOD MOVIE!!!!
I had resisted even watching this movie as the hysteria surrounding it's release was a total turn off. That much hype usually gives you a let down! However, I watched it and loved it! It made a complicated plot effortless to follow and believable. With hindsight I think a lot of the controversy arose because the film was so good. It handled a 'difficult' subject and made it into everything a drama/thriller/mystery movie should be. It was dramatic. I was thrilled watching it. And it was a huge mystery and kept me guessing. If you like these kind of movies I don't see how you can failed to be disappointed! Not only was it a good movie to watch from a cinematic perspective but it also made my mind work and think about the issues raised. I considored my own beliefs and feel that added a new dimension to the film. I hope you watch it and enjoy it!

Book Better By far
If like me you enjoyed the book, then maybe you shouldn't watch this. The book moves at a faster pace and manages to deliver a bigger whollop. Tom Hanks acting leaves alot to be desired and doesn't live up to the book character! The book creates alot more excitment than the film can and whilst you can't stop turning pages in the book, you can't stop counting how minutes untill the film is actually over. Big let down.

Predictable but watchable
Being one of only a very small group of people who have never read the book I wasn't sure what to expect from this film. It was long, predictable and drawn out but on the whole exceeded the low expectations I had of it

A fast moving book turned into a slow moving film
Tom Hanks is surely miscast in this role and is at his most unconvincing. The film feels disjointed and messy, and very long. Towards the end I found myself not caring what happened to any of the characters. All in all a huge disappointment.
