Awful film, boring movie.

Rating: 1/10 (18 May 2006)

As one said leaving the theater, it is "phenomenally bad film with director, writer and actors all guilty.
I am reeling, having just been Hollywoodized.
This film drags and drags and ends not a moment too soon.
Tom Hanks and Audrey Tautou mail it in, while Bettany and McKellen ham it up. Director Ron Howard takes zero chances.
Everything that makes the book interesting for some people, if not well-written, is absent from this stationary lump of a movie, which is about as controversial as vanilla".
Any way, where did you see it, on may 17...?
Opens tomorrow worldwide. I do not recommend you go see it.
