Overall, it was entertaining....

Rating: 6/10 (7 June 2006)

i thought that the film was an accurate adaptation of the book, but it seemed a bit slow in places whereas the novel was extremely fast-paced. part of what kept me interested was Ian McKellen's amazing performance as Sir Leigh Teabing. of the many movies he has acted in, i found this to be one of his best. the opposite could be said about Tom Hanks. although it was not a challenging role to begin with, he made the character of Langdon seem like a bland, expressionless figurehead. part of the reason i found the movie boring at many points is because Hanks did nothing to evoke a response with the viewers. Overall, the film was just an interesting action/adventure thriller. Ian McKellen salvaged what would have been a mediocre movie, and seemed to make the muddled plot and random twists make sense in the end.
