No That Bad

Rating: 6/10 (21 May 2006)

Just returned from the cinema and I have to say that this film is certainly undeserving of the hammering it has received from the critics. It's no masterpiece but it is an entertaining film. If you've read the book you'll find the step by step explanations in the film annoying but if you haven't, like my wife, they are a very useful guide to the theories underpinning it.
Stand out stars are Paul Bettany as Silas and Jean Reno as the French police officer. Not sure that Tom Hanks was the best choice for Rober Langdon and his hairstyle is very dodgy - that DOES deserve the criticism!
