Good supporting cast, good cinematography, but that's all

Rating: 4/10 (5 July 2007)

Tom Hanks was not believable as a professor (I pictured Russell Crowe as an excellent choice, and he has played a professor successfully). Audrey Tautou left me flat; she was so wimpy/passive that I think they did not want her competing with Tom Hanks. I felt that a stronger woman should have been portrayed. She is suppose to be an extremely smart woman that works for the police department. As far as the story goes, I believe that the story would have been much better if they had stayed more closely with the book. For a book with lots of suspense and action, this movie misses a lot of that.
It is really too bad the movie fails because the original story and the supporting cast are excellent. The supporting cast is the only reason I give this movie 4 stars. Hopefully they will never use Tom Hanks to portray Dr. Robert Langdon again.
