Hi guys, I managed to watch the film just now, FINALLY!! I am very impressed by it and I'll write down the review and comparing it to the original novel as well.
The Book
I was very impressed that the story took place in Italy once again, and it has a couple of connections to the Da Vinci Code. Like when Robert Langdon is falsely accuse of stealing Dante's death mask, he has been fooled by Sienna Brooks in this version and she doesn't commit suicide in the end. But redeems herself after she fails to get the virus back, even the WHO (World Health Organisation).
The one thing I was very happy was that she chooses to work with the Organisation in the end, and she finally come to terms with Robert. I had always feel sorry for her throughout the story because it's not easy being a child prodigy!
The Film
The majority of the film is the same, with the exception of the ending in which Sienna dies and is the main antagonist of the film, she even betrays Robert in this film like in the book too.
Speaking of Sienna, her film version is different from her novel counterpart because she's completely bald and is suppose to wearing a blonde wig in the book due to an illness. But, in the film, she is a brunette.
Personally, I was a bit disappointed with the ending when Sienna chooses death. I was actually expecting her to redeem herself, but I guess she wanted to. Overall, good job by the stars themselves!
Beautiful Settings
Okay, the majority of the settings is in Florence and Venice, Italy and Istanbul, Turkey. Surprisingly, it was also shot in Budapest, Hungary. Especially during the airport scene too, the film really makes want to go to both Italy and Turkey since that I have been to Hungary already.
Conclusion
So, here is my review on the film and I hope you read the book and watch the film, it's a must see and must read novel and speaking of Dan Brown. He will be coming up with a new book with Robert Langdon in it again called 'Origin' which is due to come out later this year in October, I just can't wait for it!

The Setting
I love to go to Italy, and Florence is one of my top destination. It also introduces me another famous artwork, which I will write about it later. I am very glad that the movie will guide me on where to go while in Florence!
The Artwork
Okay, as I promised, the book and the movie will introduce me to a new piece of artwork called 'The Map of Hell'. When I first did a little research about it, I was really amazed by the structure of the painting. As it looks like a tornado!
The Characters
Aside from Robert Langdon, there will be some new characters, including the actors who will be playing them as well.
Ready for Another Adventure with Langdon?
These are all of my reasons why I'm getting very excited about the movie, are you?
