Were you guys confused during any of the movie if you hadn't read the book? I had read it and was thinking that non-readers would have been wondering what the hell was going on, but maybe not.
The book and the movie were pretty different. The riddles might have taken 4 or 5 pages of though process in the book, only to be solved nearly immeadiately in the movie. There were some other things that got explained in the story but don't have any reasoning in the movie (she looks behind the picture immeadiately to find the key...). I think it was a rather good book to movie translation, minus some character development and plot points. (The book had two cryptexes, with the one in the movie being found inside a larger one).
Oh, and definitely excellent work on not having metal octopus arms burst out of bishop Arigosa's back.
