Basic Review

Rating: 9/10 (15 January 2007)

Although I absolutely adore this film the book and everything to do with it I think that Sir Ian McKellen was too nice as Teabing. He was always a sort of Jekyll and Hyde character in my imagination. Maybe thats just my imagination going wild but you know. While Paul Bettany (Silas) excelled at his part. I jumped many times and his image haunted me well after the film had finished. The chemistry between Sophie (Tautou) and Robert (Hanks) was only apparent in certain scenes, but in the book it is clear they are attracted to one another. Tautou made the character of Sophie believable and also made you want to protect her - perhaps explaining the brother/sister relationship I thought they portrayed. In total, I absolutely ADORED the film.
