glad I didn't see it in the theater

Rating: 5/10 (4 June 2007)

Once again, another movie that is no where near as good as the book. I read the book a couple of years ago, and I thought it was good and suspenseful. But, partly because I already knew the ending, this movie did not live up to the hype. But it wasn't just that I knew what would happen, but there are just too many slow moving scenes and puzzles seemed boring in the movie. It made a lot more sense and was much more suspenseful in the book.
Silas character did not come off that great in the movie. He was much better and scarier in the book. And Hanks and Tautou had little chemistry. It was almost painful to see them together on screen.
FINAL VERDICT: If you are interested in the story, read the book and do not see the movie.
