I went to see the movie last night after just finishing the book on Monday night. They didn't just leave things out to streamline the story, they changed up a lot and left out a couple of the most important elements of the story (Kohler for one, the fact that the Carmelengo was NOT IRISH for another). The Carmelengo was portrayed as being just power-hungry and maybe delusional, when in reality there was SO much more going on there.
I sat there and just sighed through the whole movie. Loudly. My boyfriend really enjoyed the movie and is now reading the book. I guess he did it in the right order. Yes, things were changed for the DaVinci code, but not to the same degree (in my opinion).
it's good as a movie in and of itself, and if you know nothing of the book it might even be great. If you've read the book, though, prepare to be vastly disappointed.
