DaVinci Code: Book vs Movie

[Chaos in 1983!]

Last night I went to see the DaVinci code, and after loving the book I am dissapointed to say that the movie doesn't live up to it.

The movie throws everything at you too quickly, it races through the whole story without getting to deep into each of the scenes.For someone who has not read the book it might be a bit hard to comprehend.

I think Tom Hanks was sooo wrong for this role, when I read the book I didn't picture anyone like him at all. IMO he does a poor job as Langdon.
The movie makes you think that Langond knows everything, he doesn't even think things over, he just knows them! he figures everything way too fast.

Silas was miscasted as well I think, the book describes a big man, the actor that plays Silas is anything but big. Also Silas is supposet to be Spanish, however of his dialogues with Aringarosa almost none of them are in Spanish! and when he does speak spanish, he has an accent.

Fache, was perfectly casted, but unlike the in book, he has almost no involvement in the movie.

They invented out of the blue that Langdon was claustrophobic, because he fell into a well when he was a kid, which as far as I remember, wasn't in the book (I could be wrong here).

They completely erased the small cryptex with password SOFIA inside the big one.

Sophie meets her brother at the end of the story, but why would they leave this out of the movie? They show the guy, but they are never introduced as siblings.

I think they stayed loyal to the story, scenes and dialogues, but it could've been a better movie if they hadn't rushed through every scene.
