Biggest flop in human history, more like...

Rating: 2/10 (20 May 2006)

After all this hype, after all the trailers and campaigns, we all were expecting something fantastic, spectacular, dazzling. Unfortunately, this was definitely not the case. The Da Vinci Code as a film was a sorry interpretation of the book. None of the same suspense, the action and the twists we had come to expect from Dan Brown's creation. Granted, the film was almost stiflingly true to the book, but none of its moderate genius was brought to life in any way on screen. Despite some decent attempts to save the picture by Sir Ian Mckellen and Paul Bettany, it was just another Tom Hanks movie through and through-boring, lifeless, in a word - dull. As a fan of the Da Vinci Code, and one who waited for the day to come of the movie release, if you are anything less than disappointed I would be shocked. Crude attempts to enhance the plot and a lame excuse for an ending simply went from bad to worse. Awful.
