Just Another Book Turned Movie

Rating: 2/10 (20 May 2006)

I read the book about a week before the movie came out, so I went into the movie with high expectations, maybe too high.
The movie was mediocre at best. It oversimplified many things that could have used less time explaining at the cost of entertainment. There were many key scenes in the book that did not show up in the movie, while I have taken budgets and time restrictions into account, it all started with the script, which could have been much better.
This was definitely not Tom Hanks best movie, he was given many lines that made his character sound like an idiot. For an expert in symbology, he wasn't to bright.
For a movie that has had so much force behind it for months from churches and atheists alike, I expected much more.
