Wow...this movie sucks

Rating: 2/10 (28 November 2009)

This is the stupidest movie and completely consistent with most Ron Howard films.
First, it's a far cry from the book. OK, that alone doesn't make it a bad movie, but the movie sequence is almost completely unfollowable, difficult to hear and understand, and filled with ridiculous elements about Rome, the Vatican itself, the Vatican security detail, and the Catholic church. It expects us to believe that an American professor would know more about the Vatican, Italy, and the Italian culture than career Vatican employees and Italians. Tom Hanks is far from believable as an "Indiana Jones"-type professor who supposedly knows more than just about anyone in the world about Catholisism, or Italian history or culture.
Tom Hanks and Ron Howard continue to put out drivel and garbage and this is one of their latest excrement. Yuk.
