After much hypes and struggles this movie at last made its way to hit the big screen, having heard mixed responses I decided to watch it at any cost coz I wanted to see how this movie was made. Having read the book my exceptions were very high and I have been waiting for months for the court to clear the case so that I catch a glimpse of how the book is transformed into a movie.
While reading the book, this thought would have struck many, that to watch it in big screen would be a sure entertainer. Images went pass by as was I turning pages of the book and like many even I read about the opus dei, the priory of sin after reading the Da Vinci code and wanted to know how true was the data given in the book. But after seeing it in the big screen I should say I was disappointed. The script i.e. the book was just incomparable to what was on the screen. The Da vinci code as a film is a great effort in every sense, that too in particular the art director of the film should be given a credit above the rest. He has done a tremendous job. The role for each person fits aptly. Da Vinci Code as a film separately fails but when it is seen from another perspective that this movie has been drawn from a book, the team behind the movie has given full justice for the book.
My opinion stands like this, if u have read the book, the film wont impress you to the extent the book did, you will have the satisfaction of watching something which you have read, if you have not read the book, you just cant understand the film or to put in another way, if u read the book after the movie, you will clearly understand tat many pages in the book have been exempted.
