I read the book and is better than DaVinci´s Code. Let´s see how the director can represent all the plot.

If the movie is as bad as the trailers out on this, it will go quietly into the unprofitable night...

AWsome movie exxlect RON HOWARD has done it again

posted by coolnesss on May 31, 2009

I think, it's a great movie! Very entertaining ! I also love the clothes Ayelet Zurer wears as Vittoria Vetra and was wondering where to get them from?

The last 3/4 of an hr of the film kept me on the edge of my seat which was great. However, I felt the twist at the end was unfair because Ewan was the true hero as he saved vatican city and didn't deserve to die. However I suppose the producers had to make it dramatic. I think Ewan acted brilliantly in the film and I also think he is drop dead gorgeous. Great thriller and I would definately see the next sequel.

This movie is proof that we don't require foul language and graphic sex scenes in order for a film to be successful. It challenges us to examine what we believe....and why

Everyone Must watch this Film

posted by karthikonly17 on Sep 08, 2009

the movie was excellent. although the book was far much better. the director has to cut short many scenes,some characters as well but that was probably due to long duration of movie which already crossed 2 hr. Mark.
