Friday night, I went to the first opening night movie showing of my life. Ever since I heard that The DaVinci Code was coming to the big screen, and that Tom Hanks had been cast as Robert Langdon I was really excited to see this movie.

As is typically the case with book to movie productions, I was pretty disappointed with the movie. I found that lots of the story had changed from the book. Most specifically, I was bothered by the fact that Sophie’s character in the movie was portrayed as a dumb girl just along for the ride, whereas in the book she was a key part in breaking a lot of the codes. There were other parts of the book that I thought were integral to the story which were just glanced over in the movie.

All in all, I think if you havent read the book, you’d probably really enjoy it. If you have read the book, wait for the DVD…
