absolutely disappointed

Rating: 5/10 (20 May 2006)

I was really looking forward to watch this film and of course in the end I felt disappointed like anyone else, I guess, who read the book before watching the movie. Although the cast was perfect (Ian Mckellen was the very appropriate person acting Teabing and Tom Hanks and Audrey Tautou were very convincing too), it remained unused and marginalized by the lack of suspense. Also, interesting scenes of the book have been ignored while others have been changed dramatically in order to limit the duration of the film but that affected the transmission of the deepest ideas expressed in the book. To sum up the most interesting and thrilling book of the last 20 years turned into an ordinary adventure for pop corns. Against to all of these, I find it a good motive for the 1% of the world who did not read the book to start reading it.
