The DaVinci Code

I like the concept of this story...hidden messages in works of art, secrets in the Church, symbols...Unfortunately, there are too many unnecessary characters and the writing is poor at best. The dialogue is stilted and doesn't ring true. It is hard to believe that with some of the lines that come out of Robert Langdon's mouth; he is a professor of the subject that is so closely explored through this story. I mean as readers and viewers we are intelligent enough to put the pieces together and don't need to be told every little thought process that he is going through. The movie closely follows the book and reveals nothing more. I have no regrets reading the book; however, watching the movie took more than two hours of my life and $10 - two hours and $10 dollars I'll never get back.
