While the novel was an interesting fictional adventure that delves into the ideas of science and religion both being right, the movie just kindof glosses over that part to get to the meat of the thriller. What ends up on screen is basically a grim "National Treasure" which fails because "National Treasure" is at least suppose to be fun.

An epic pile of miserable cinema shit. I walked out of the movie half way though the "film". With each step, I felt progressively better. This will be my last Ron Howard movie I will ever see. Unless I'm cast in one. Yeah, that would be the only exception...

Decently fun, but absolutely absurd. It's all so obviously crafted for maximum suspense that it becomes rather laughable and predictable. The acting is over the top and all the other technical aspects, camerawork, music etc. are way too blatant even if technically proficient.

National Treasure and Seven have a love child. Once you overcome the unbelievability of some of the plot turns and some special Ron Howard touches that add that sugary, hollywood, chris columbus-esque vibe to the film you get a pretty decent thriller. I enjoyed, it's a nice, middle of the road summer blockbuster. Not as good as Star Trek.

Tries hard to stay interesting but ultimately the plot ends up being convoluted for the twist's sake. There aren't really any puzzles, which you'd expect from a movie about a symbologist chasing illuminati. Really all he does is look for angel statues pointing in certain directions. Yawn.

Like a 2 hour CSI episode, the detective (or symbol-meister in this case) gets from one predicament to the next by finding just the right clue at just the right moment. And somehow this whole crazy, intricate Scooby Doo-style trail of clues was impossibly - spoiler alert - planned all along by a mysterious villain! There are more plot holes than plot, but for brainless fun, it isn't a complete disaster.

If you enjoy this, I'd also recommend The Ninth Gate (1999), Close Your Eyes (2002) and The Number 23 (2007).

I imagined it would be hard to fit all the stuff from the novel into a movie but they did an acceptable job. The plot is nothing that will blow your mind and at times it can be predictable and quite convenient for the main characters to figure out a clue. Fortunately, the fast-paced plot keeps you from noticing too much and they wisely left out the terribly forced romantic angle from the book as well. Some good looking scenery and a strong performance by McGregor make this worth at least a watch

I love Rome, the city, but this is a dark mess. It is neither exciting nor intellectually stimulating, but pretty to look at (and dark). It reminds me of somebody I lost interest in.
