Don't even rent the DVD

Rating: 2/10 (15 November 2006)

Watched this on DVD and didn't like it any better than the book. Tom Hanks who I really like was miscast although I got used to him after a while. But why did he do nothing but frown throughout the whole movie? It was distracting! Audrey Tatou was sweet and didn't really say or do much which is a shame as she was wonderful in Amelie.I kept wondering if she wore hair extensions in the movie as at the Cannes premiere she had a cute short haircut. Shows how interested I was in the movie.
It was long and boring and not even remotely interesting and so dark I wondered if there was something wrong with our TV. Ian Mckellar was good at first (he's always a treat) but his over long explanation of the last supper and what ever else he was saying just got tiresome and put my hubby to sleep...and he's the one that wanted to rent it.
My first instinct was right. I shouldn't have rented it. I know some people who bought the special DVD package and I feel sorry for them.
