My sentiments exactly; well, except for the rental part - I'll probably go see in in the movies. This should have been Harrison Ford's part - it amazes me how something so obvious just can't get done in Hollywood...
...When I was reading the book I imagined how the movie might be and the first image that popped in my head was the scene in "Last Crusade" where Indy is standing above an engraving of the numeral V in an old Italian Church.

I don't hate it, but i think that "Da Vinci Code" is utterly ludicrous crap. The same with "Angels and Demons."

Howard and Goldman are an incredibly frustrating team. Cinderella Man and A Beautiful Mind would have been much better had they been factually accurate and not juiced up in an attempt to make them more interesting.

It might be a decent popcorn flick, but considering the source material, who knows?

Nope, a lot of literary critics hated it.
