Not interesting enough for me to read the book

Rating: 5/10 (22 November 2006)

I have to confess right up front I didn't read the best selling book and this movie is not interesting enough to make me go out and buy it. I could never understand how this news concerning Jesus would 'shake the world'. Once again it seemed to me the same old thing, man's desire to bring everything down to his level. The characters, with the exception of the "Teacher" are not very well hashed out in the movie. Ron Howard, who usually does a good job< really doesn't let the characters grow on you before they are running for their lives. Doesn't really set up much of a connection. I agree with everyone who said that Tom Hanks was really, really, really wrong for the part of Langdon. He has no, I repeat no charisma at all in this movie. He's really out of place. All in all it was boring.
