45 minutes too long

Rating: 5/10 (26 May 2006)

Despite all the hype surrounding this movie, it just turned out to be a cookie cutter conspiracy thriller. I wasn't offended by the film's portrayal of the life of Jesus, or albinos. People should relax about that, since even the author of the book stated this was a work of fiction. My main complaint of this movie was that it was just plodding, they should have cut at least 45 minutes of it. Many of the actions scenes were poorly conceived. Tom Hanks also made a weak lead. And I went to see it with three other people, and I kid you not, two of them fell asleep during this film. It wasn't a truly awful film, it was a very well made(filmed), but it was incredibly tedious.
