I've loved the book and I thought the movie was okay. My friend who hasn't read the book loved the movie.

They did leave a lot out in my opinion - especially more info about the Last Supper (Peter, the disembodied hand with a knife, etc), no mention of the Madonna on the Rocks and the other painting. I really think with all the stuff they left out that the Christian churches don't have as much to worry about as they thought that people would be convinced this conspiracy could be true.

Plus, although it did follow the book the ending was changed ever so slightly. I don't want to say more so I don't spoil it for anyone.

Tom Hanks didn't do a bad job as Robert Langdon. Still wish it had been a different actor but he was a believable in the role. I recommend seeing the movie.

I just saw it last night and...no. I'm with the critics who said that the audience was spoonfed the entire time. You have to shut your brain off in order to enjoy it.

Based on how well it's doing at the box office, I believe it's safe to say that fans don't give a shit what critics think.
I enjoyed the movie. The ending was different than the book but overall, I liked it.

So I finally saw this Sunday night and thoroughly enjoyed it. I thought it carried the same intensity as the book and if they had made it shorter, they would have had to skip even more detail. I prefer the book ending, but that's ok too.
