da vinci code broken

Rating: 1/10 (21 May 2006)

In a mere 2 1/2 hours, or was it 3, the 'most anticipated movie of our time" became the newest 'biggest stiff in history'. In a half filled theater on its opening Saturday night,(word of mouth does travel fast)Da Vinci Code didn't so much crash and burn as it annoyed and bored an audience that probably sensed a gargantuan stiff but thought maybe the low expectations (MISSIONIMPOSSIBLE3)might set the stage for underdog winner....NOT! This was so much worse then reviewers let on. Brain Glazer, the only guy(?) in Hollywood with funnier hair then Toms', and Ron Howard made a really really long movie that is anti-entertainment. Yeah,Tom Hanks' hair is funny but he is awful. He carries himself like a man going to the gallows as I guess he just sensed the size of this mistake. The French cast members, including the leading lady(?)Audry Tatou, and Jean Reno mumble and whisper, mumble and whisper, what?... who knows? who cares? probably no one after this weekend.
