I loved it, but others might not. . .
20 May 2006 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

Note: Never read the book I saw this movie today and there is one thing I can say about it: I loved it. It was just a good-old-fashioned adventure/treasure hunt type of movie, and I really got into it. I can see why some wouldn't like this. It deals heavily with religious, historical, and artistic history (three things that I am into), so if someone isn't really into that stuff, I can see why they wouldn't like it. I thought Tom Hanks did a great job, as did the woman, and Ian McKellen again was awesome. I was never a step ahead of this movie, and that's what I liked about it. It was one mystery after another, sprinkled with some action and death. Edge of your seat material for sure!
