Saw the movie "The Da Vinci Code" yesterday with my co-editors... we've been waiting for that movie the whole month! Well, the movie is just "FINE!" but it did not satisfy my expectation... as I always thought... as I anticipated.
TOP 5 THINGS/SCENES THAT THE MOVIE FAILED TO PORTRAY:
1. Silas was an Albino and his iris were supposed to be colour red.
2. The numbers used as codes in the bank were supposed to be entered twice. The first attempt was the jumbled numbers, then the second attempt was the Fibonacci sequence.
3. There were supposed to be two cryptex to be solved. SOFIA and APPLE.
4. There should be a church keeper, a boy to be exact, in the place where they were looking for the knight with a missing orb.
5. The keeper of the church in the last scenes were supposed to be Sophie's brother.
P.S. I only mentioned 5... but there are still a lot more, missing things and events in the movie compared to the book itself.
TOP 3 THINGS/SCENES THE MOVIE GOT RIGHT:
1. Robert Langdon's Mickey wrist watch.
2. Vernet's Rolex wrist watch.
3. The exact location.
P.P.S. In fairness, a lot of the scenes were undoubtedly somehow accurate.
