The movie was better in that regard, but at the same time they didn't improve on the "sitting around and talking" as much as the could have; there's plenty of times in the movie where Langdon halts the action entirely to give a history lecture. They improved the pacing a lot with the Angels and Demons movie, with his explanations being much more succinct, delivered while on the move, and fitting in with the scene much more organically.Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16403121951486039077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2713461078127531091.post-30221111001665759582015-03-20T09:38:10.280-07:002015-03-20T09:38:10.280-07:00One of the problems I had with The Da Vinci Code a...One of the problems I had with The Da Vinci Code as a novel is that it contained long sections where the characters sat around and talked. This is not appropriate in a thriller. It ruins the pacing. When I heard that it was going to be a movie, I realized that this would be an improvement because movies are always more action oriented. The movie met my expectations. I think you should stand by your old opinion. The Da Vinci Code is one of my examples of the movie being better than the book too.Shomerethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02919485153478095104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2713461078127531091.post-57918940573898997912015-03-19T20:11:12.591-07:002015-03-19T20:11:12.591-07:00You know, I've never seen To Kill a Mockingbir...You know, I've never seen To Kill a Mockingbird in its entirety! I know I have to one of these days, I love the book so much. But you're right, he was definitely perfect for that part. <br /><br />Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16403121951486039077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2713461078127531091.post-81995098507040894442015-03-19T16:08:10.147-07:002015-03-19T16:08:10.147-07:00Well, I basically agree with you in most of the pa...Well, I basically agree with you in most of the parts!<br /> <br />The Godfather is such a good movie that it's so difficult to read the novel without comparing it.<br /><br />My favourite book to film adaptation (or at least the one that comes to mind right now) is To Kill a Moking Bird. Gregory Peck fits ideally my mental picture of Atticus Finch. Konnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03650740689826904595noreply@blogger.com
