A Real Time Disappointment!!

Rating: 5/10 (20 May 2006)

What could be said about this much hyped movie!! I remember, I finished the book within one week, even reading it at the workplace and taking a risk of getting caught by the managers! I liked it so much! But after coming out of the movie theater I just shook my head in disappointment. First of all the script is so week that it is difficult to find a link in-between!! And you know it is so frustrating. Then comes the parity. Sometimes it is not even matching with the actual story of Dan Brown! Director will say it is because of screen-play but it is unacceptable for the viewers who have already read it. I guess maximum of you. Then comes the information. If you have not already read the book, simply you will be unable to find out what is Priory Sion or what is Opus Dei! I think Dan Brown himself will be unhappy with this. The movie never reached a thrilling point at all. Lastly, one of my friend pointed it out, which I agree that the chemistry between Tom Hanks and Audrey Tautou really didn't work well. Unnecessary importance has been given to Tom Hanks, overlooking Audrey, which really differs from the actual story. But I like Jean Reno (Bezu Fache). So friends, if you are planning to watch it with much excitement after reading the book, I think you will be disappointed. I can't rank it more than 'C'.
