Trivia:
Ewan McGregor's character in the book was an Italian named Carlo Ventresca. the name was changed to Camerlengo Patrick McKenna for the movie to reflect McGregor's obvious lack of Italian heritage. more
Goofs:
Factual errors: The term "preferiti" is incorrect and, though it's an Italian word, it would never be used in such a context. The correct expression is "papabili", which means "apt and likely to be chosen as Pope". Furthermore, this expression "papabile" has later come to signify any person likely to be chosen : for example, if a football team owner wants to choose a new trainer the press always talks of a small group of "papabili" would-be trainers. more
Quotes:
Camerlengo Patrick McKenna: Our church is at war. We are under attack from an old enemy. The Illuminati. They have struck us from within and threatening us all with destruction from their new god Science. more

worth watching but could have been done better, 25 July 2009
8/10
Author: EchoMaRinE from Denmark

This is an OK adaptation of the breath taking book of Dan Brown. I can't say it is novel or very good but they made a movie that you can enjoy. Given the excellent story, the result could have been better though. The movie is pretty long but at the end I was feeling like some things were missing. Sound effects and sound tracks were very good. Acting was well done but the character development phase was very weak. For people who didn't read the book, things may look happening too quickly. From my point of view, instead of trying to put as much as stuff from the book, they could have tried to do the important scenes more proper. What makes the book very good was all the puzzle like story combined with the excellent portrait of Vatican. You see neither of it in the movie. Too much rush and using the time not in a good way, these are main problems of the movie. So, it is worth watching but could have been done better.
