Last night while we were waiting for the New Year to begin we noticed that The Da Vinci Code was on a PPV channel. While I remembered that the critics reviews were not that kind we decided to watch it anyway. No one in the room had read the book so there wasn't any preconceived notions as to how it should be presented. The story seemed muddled and not very focused and Tom Hanks couldn't seem to create a character that you cared about. Unfortunately, it also showed that he is not that good an actor. The story seemed disjointed and quite rambling. After about an hour everyone was looking for something else and felt sorry for me for having spent money on this horror (no pun intended). I was surprised to see that Ron Howard directed this and then it occurred to me that Howard is not that great a director anyway. The material got away from him. All in all, we thought The Da Vinci Code a great waste of time. Save your money and your time.
