Book wise, I think Da Vinci Code had a better story, while A&D was more interesting on the “research” side of things. Movie wise, the Da Vinci Code was such crap. There was no suspense and Tom Hanks and Audrey Tantou had sub-zero chemistry. There is a touch of suspense in A&D, and Ayelet Zurer manged to give her character at least the appearance of depth despite the script writers’ best efforts. Plus A&D has Ewan McGregor and he usually has the ability of making everything a little better. Still methinks something was lost in the adaption of both movies. Would have rather seen Wolverine or Star Trek (if either were out here in Japan!).
BTW, the American cardinal with his “aw shucks” accent was hilarious.
This was a Flash Movie Review.
