Terrible, as I suspected it would be

Rating: 1/10 (22 May 2006)

From the moment I heard Hanks would be Tom Langdon, my heart sank and I knew the picture would sink too. Too old, too lacking in charisma, too wooden an actor to portray the viral, young and handsome Langdon (but not that young). Russell Crowe would have been perfect: professorial, handsome in a rugged way, and very charismatic. Tatou, ditto. No spark. These two alone would sink this movie. And Bettany was no albino. His skin was too dark and he didn't look sinister enough.
POSSIBLE SPOILER AFFECTS Didn's play true to the book. For one thing, Sophie WAS Sauniere's granddaughter and her brother survived. Her grandmother was the women seen making love to her grandfather in a ritual ceremony which Langdon explained to her. That hokum ending with the entire family and group was off the wall.
Plus there were more clues from the scroll than those given in the film.
don't waste time with this movie. Go read the book. Great read on a long airplane ride. Impossible to put down. This picture, however, was interminable.
