Good but not great

Rating: 5/10 (22 May 2006)

If you have read the book prior to seeing the movie, then the suspense is almost non-existent. That being said where is the charisma? Except for Ian McKellan (Teabing) Jean Reno (Fache) non of the characters stood out as awesome. Tom Hanks was lackluster as Langdon. In the book Langdon is much more suave and clever even if he is a professor at Harvard. This movie did not live up to the hype. While a quality film overall and one that I did enjoy, it was not so good that I had much good to say afterward. Except for Teabing and Silas there was no character that stirred up any real emotions, whether good or bad. I expected a lot more from such actors and director.
