An fun ride through many layers of history and symbolism with a lot of action, a little mystery, and some compelling characters. As with any book adapted to a movie, it's a challenge to fit it all in, and the one weakness of the movie is that a few times the characters' only motives for saying what they said is that it was necessary to fill in that bit of the plot. I already read it, but I suspect for those that didn't, it would fly by very quickly and be hard to catch everything the first time, but it's all there - the movie is extremely full, and mentions some things very briefly. You'll want to see it again, or read it. Too much death for little kids, but unless you're offended by the conspiracy-theory-view of Christianity, you're very likely to enjoy it.
