Eh

I would like to say that The DaVinci Code left much to be desired. As one who has read the book, I must say that the detail in the book simply could not be captured on film, regardless of director or producer. The book was so well written and so explanatory, that it could not all be expressed in a three hour film. At any rate, the movie had enough of a plot for the average movie goer to understand what was going on for the most part. Some scenes were confusing. The scene where the Bishop obtained the bonds was rather confusing in the movie, where as in the book, it is crystal clear.
I feel that the biggest disappointment for me was Tom Hanks. His acting was completely flat and emotionless. I have seen many of Hanks's films, and this was not his best character. I feel that Ron Howard should have gone for more of an unknown actor. I spent most of my time comparing Hanks as Langdon to Hanks as other characters. If you want to see the film, I recommend not reading the book prior.
