Sleep walking with tom Hanks

Rating: 2/10 (24 December 2007)

I was truly mortified by this film. I am a huge fan of Tom Hanks and when it was reported that he was cast I was thrilled. I really enjoyed the book, and thought Ian McKellan was a terrific choice as Teabing. I saw the film and was very disappointed. Hanks never seemed excited about anything that happened. Was he on painkillers during the filming. The dialog was wooden and bad, but the character was experiencing some of what should have been the most exciting moments of his life and Hanks looked bored and stupefied. I have no idea who is to blame. Howard, Hanks, or whoever adapted the book to the screen, but it was boring and not fun to watch. Where was the Hnaks charisma?
Don't waste your time with this film. Go re-read the book. I wish I had. What a waste of talent.
