Disappointing

Rating: 5/10 (11 June 2009)

General consensus was that Da Vinci Code failed because it didn't live up to the book, though I've never read the book, so I'll just judge the movie on it's own merits; this was a poorly put together movie with bad pacing. The plot just felt way too rushed to be enjoyable. And Tom Hanks (who is awesome) looked completely uninterested during the entire film and that hair OMG~! I'd say it would have been better as a much longer movie, except I have a hard time saying that about a movie I found boring to begin with. If I entered an alternate reality where it had a better script and was done by a different director, I'd probably give it a chance. There was potential there.
Also, when I say it could have been longer, I mean it could have been stretched out some while giving the plot some room to breathe, not have another 45 minutes of plot twists thrown in.
The other thing I thought was dumb was when Hanks and Sophie was about to be shot by the butler, and doves fly out of no where. Seriously, did John Woo direct that portion? Though saying that, I'm very much looking forward to Angels and Demons
