This much-hyped movie was a pretty good interpretation of the book. I don’t think I loved Tom Hanks in the role of Langdon, but Audrey Tautou did a good job as Sophie. Paul Bettany was an excellent choice for Silas, the religiously fanatic albino monk; his eyes and face were haunting. I tried not to have any expectations going into this movie, and I’m glad I didn’t. It was just… a movie. There wasn’t anything super about the acting or the cinematography, but it did entertain me for two and a half hours. In the film, Robert Langdon is thrown into a mystery when a senior curator is killed. As Langdon and cryptoligist Sophie Neveu dig deeper, they uncover a story that dates back to the time of Jesus Christ.
