Movie Review by B Movie Ben
May 25th, 2007

Happy Birthday Sir Ian

Do you love a good mystery/thriller? How about one that is supposedly based on fact? How about one that takes place in Paris and the UK? If you do, then this film has every thing you could be looking for in a movie.

Ron Howard and Tom Hanks had an impossible job. Making a credible film on the tail of a hugely successful book. They managed to make a film that was interesting and exciting, and it had a great score, and superb sound and visual effects.

Yes, I read the book, and I even knew about the Templars and Opus Dei before I read the book. I also read the book that The DaVinci Code was based upon. I knew the premises and that did not spoil the book for me, just as reading the book did not spoil the movie.

Tom Hanks did a great job, Ron Howard did a great job, Audrey Tautou was delicious, and, of course, Sir Ian was fantastic.

Urgh I hated this film it just felt so rushed and they f*cked up the ending...the only good thing was the casting of Ian McKellen as the excentric professor he was perfect in this role and I instantly thought of him back when I read the book.

I too was dissapointed in this but I understood the film and I have never read the book.
