No tension...no drama... tedious....but you'll still go and see it.

Rating: Null/10 (19 May 2006)

Whatever you think of the book, at least it made you turn the page...the film is more or less a faithful adaptation of the book (with a couple of changes that I won't spoil)...but Dan Brown wasn't writing a film script. And the script the movie uses is clunky and tedious...there are a few really funny moments, sadly they are unintentional and mostly come from the urgent (over)acting and lengthy lectures the audience is subjected to. There is no chemistry between the actors, there is no tension.
Saying that, the triumph of this film is the marketing, no matter how poor it is, it will rake it in at the box office: that will be the measure of success of the movie.
For all those anti-Da Vinci Code people this film is the miracle they wanted: whereas the book could have been discussed for decades to come - this bad adaptation is likely to ensure that the Da Vinci Code becomes a flash in the pan.
