Hey Adrenaline,
Thanks for the post. Yes, I am aware of the, "courts" findings butI bet his/her honor did not take the time to read either of the two publications by the other three authors. I guess my point is this, people are lauding Dan Brown for creating/writing such a controversial and/or unique story without realizing this is old news. The guys making a fortune off of someone elses years of personal time, expense and investigative talents.

Okay, back to discussing the movie. There are plenty of other threads here to discuss the plagiarism accusations.
I must reiterate - this thread is about the Da Vinci Code MOVIE.

Indeed. Who thinks Alfred Molina was not the right actor for Aringarossa? (not sure about the double s)

I was very impressed with the movie. I actually think it was rather a difficult book to turn into a film. I can understand some of the criticisms - there perhaps wasn't as much suspense and surprise in the movie as there could have been. But, they clearly took the decision to include as much of the book as possible in the movie; and, as it's a long book, this inevitably means there had to be some compromises.
Bottom line - this movie has been made for fans of the book. And given how many of those there are in the world, that's a pretty good strategy.
Great job!

I think the movie is a beautiful movie, but the story was not the book's story.
Where is the cryptex ?
But Jean Reno and Audrey Tautou was the best actors. (Vive la France !)
I have just a question : why, when they have the book, they write a scenario ?
It's not the book's story, like :
King Kong, Harry Potter, Jurassic Park, ...

Ben, the reason why they have to change things going from a book to the film, is that some things in a book won't work in a film. If they made the film exactly the same as the book, people would think it was a bad film.

I think it is possible, but, it depends to the book too.
And Brown's books was made like a movie.

I saw the movie last night and I didn't think it was all that bad. The three things that annoyed me were (1) Blatant attempts to overdramatise with extra gunshots, etc., (2)How easily each riddle was solved (with some kid's internet cell phone on a bus?!) and (3) this "Council of Shadows" bull that Aringarosa was part of. In the book, he was more of a victim, rather than a psychotic modern-day Crusader.
Still, I REALLY liked the guy who played Teabing, and I sort of liked the character spin on Fache, even if it's not accurate as far as the book is concerned.

There is an other thing, but you can't to know that :
The translators of the movies didn't read the book, and the text isn't the same.
