you can't make a good movie out of a woeful book

Rating: 1/10 (22 May 2006)

I saw this film, on the basis of free tickets - I didn't think it was worth spending a good $15/ticket on this film.
boy was I wrong!
Not only was it woeful, but the best parts in the book weren't in the film. For those who haven't seen it, DON'T! For those who have seen it, WHY? For those who don't want to see it, GOOD!
the best parts? Sir Ian McKellan as Leigh Teabing, Hans Zimmer's score, Most of the cinematography, Audrey Tautou's Sophie Neveu, Paul Bettany's Silas!
Tom Hanks sports his worse haircut yet, after Forrest Gump!
For a better film on the Holy Grail story, see Indian Jones or Monty Python And The Holy Grail!
