An average movie

Back then, when 'The Da Vinci code' was released, everybody trashed it but I thought it was a little bit exaggerated. In my opinion, the main issue was that the book itself wasn't actually that great for starters. Furthermore, basically half of the book is about Robert Langdon explaining some historical facts or legends which is fine on paper but quite tricky to translate on the silver screen. Anyway, I went to see this sequel with an open mind (I even saw it in the theater somehow) and I was actually positively surprised. Indeed, it was definitely more focused than the first movie and I was rather captivated by the whole story, at least until the end. Of course, the whole thing was rather preposterous but there was something quite awesome about making a thriller in the Vatican, mixing some historical facts, myths and some good old blockbuster action scenes. Unfortunately, in my opinion, the end was so over the top, seriously, my mouth fell wide open. Whereas the rest of the movie was pretty strong, this ending was just really disappointing and actually did ruin the whole thing for me. Anyway, to conclude, it is definitely not a masterpiece but I still think it is a well made and entertaining thriller and I believe it is actually worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
