i have read the book once before when it be first release ( i have also read angel and demon which i enjoy only slightly more than tdc ) and and a week before it release decide to read it again to brush up on the story . boy be that a mistake . go into the movie with a fresh knowledge of the story only amplify my frustration . ron howard interpretation of the book be all wrong . i felt he leave out key bit of information . for instance and he could have focus more on the pagen symbolism and the prior and umm how about da vinci . also and the infamous micky mouse watch make a brief appearance but no mention be make . the movie ( w or o even read the book ) fell flat . the script be bland at best . i think that the star power over shadowed my expectation . overall da vinci leave me unsatisfied .
