I liked the book, but I hated the film version of The DaVinci Code.

Rating: 1/10 (20 July 2010)

I enjoyed the book of The DaVinci Code and, to my surprise, everything that was interesting in the book was seriously missing in this film, there was no suspense, any real sense of adventure, and no real surprises at the end.
Tom Hanks is completely miscast as Langdon, and I pictured a more interesting character than his interpretation. Hanks does nothing really interesting in this film other than reacting to others and their emotions.
Audrey Tautou is also not much better as Sophie, and I also pictured another actress in this role.
The only "actor" in this film who completely redeems himself is the great Sir Ian McKellan as Teabing, even though, I pictured someone like Sir Anthony Hopkins in the role instead.
This is not like a Ron Howard film, and it shows, Howard, who is a very talented director, with such hits as Apollo 13 and A Beautiful Mind, is completely wasted, as he puts in the storyline of the book, with none of the advent's tone of the book.
Like the Harry Potter movies, the book is a whole lot better than the finished product.
Not as controversial as many people think, but nowhere near as interesting either not at all.
