So-so.

Tom Hanks disappointed me thoroughly. I'd expect something more than the uninspiring performance he gave from Tom freaking Hanks. He just wasn't appropriate for the role at all. He came across as too awkward, and spoke from the side of his mouth from time to time, which was pretty distracting. Robert Langdon is supposed to be aging, but suave all the same-- which Tom Hanks just did not pull off. Definitely not Hanks' best work.
However, the movie was pretty easily understandable for those who didn't read the book, and included a couple of extra little things so that the movie wasn't just a clone of the book. However, it was dumbed down significantly. If you're seeking an intellectual thrill ride, look elsewhere.
