lacklustre performance

Rating: 5/10 (20 May 2006)

After reading the book, I was among many anticipating the release of 'The Da Vinci Code' in the cinema. Unfortunately, the final outcome, after all of the excitement and hubbub leading up to its release, was very disappointing. The negative points outweighed the positive. Firstly the film lacked the speed in which the book so expertly included, and by the end of the film you are left wishing it to end. The chemistry between Audrey Tatou and Tom Hanks is so unrealistic it is laughable. The character of Silas, played by Paul Bettany, was one of the only reasons which saved my eyes from closing. Bettany was the only one who looked like he truly understood his role. Overall a lacklustre, boring film.
Dan Brown must be very annoyed...
