Da Vinci Code... hmmm ...here is a fact on the book

* The Da Vinci Code is a mystery/detective novel by American author Dan Brown, published in 2003 by Doubleday Fiction. It is a worldwide bestseller with more than 60.5 million copies in print (as of May 2006) and has been translated into 44 languages. Combining the detective, thriller and conspiracy fiction genres, the book is part two of a trilogy that started with Brown's 2000 novel Angels and Demons, which introduced the character Robert Langdon. In November 2004, Random House published a "Special Illustrated Edition", with 160 illustrations interspersed with the text.

Da Vinci Code ..... hmmm... here is a fact on the movie

*Ron Howard ( a la' Beautiful Mind)has done an ok job in adapting a cult book to a 2 hour 29 min celluloid , but it fails to impress on the following accounts:

1)Pace of the book is lacking here..
2)More of a murder mystery than an eye-opener
3)Tom Hanks flowing noodle hair!!!
4)Background Score was appalling ( kindergarten stuff)

MY VERDICT : Ron Howard's has done his bit in framing The Da Vinci Code by sticking to author Dan Brown's controversial wild goose-chase thriller pretty religiously but lot is left to be desired!

RATING : 3.5/5.0
