Good but...

For diehard fans of the book it's just not as enticing. It was very well done given the Catholic church's protests so much of it has been "tamed" down. The final scene is changed a bit but overall the movie was enjoyable. I still can't understand casting Tom Hanks in this role as to be honest he's just too old for the character. The Camerlengo does a great job but seems too self-serving compared to the book.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Waiting on the sequel

This was one of the first movies in a long time which has me eagerly waiting for the sequel. The development of the cast members was almost perfect. You felt as if you watched them grow up and could sense the bonds of friendship forming. The new "take" on the classic is definitely interesting and should set the stage for some great follow up movies, I'm glad that Nemoy had a bit part but I don't see any need for Shatner in the follow-ups. Nemoy did a great job of "bridging" the series and now I'd say it can more than survive on it's own merits. The new "Enterprise" was amazing! Great idea to start the movie with action and then get into the development, really kept me wanting more throughout the movie!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
