Don't waste your money

Rating: 1/10 (21 May 2006)

I know everyone out there, including myself was super excited for this movie to cone out. Granted, I thought that Tom Hanks was a horrible choice for the lead, but I thought, how bad could it be? Horrible. My husband, and 3 friends of mine went to see it on opening night. Let's put it this way: We were all praying for sweet death about 30 minutes into the movie. If you've read the book, you will be even more disappointed than those who didn't. It barely followed any of the book's story, and it changed almost everything that made the story interesting to begin with. They make Sophie (who in the book is a code-breaker) a total idiot. She NEVER solves any puzzles. Only Tom Hanks does. If you didn't read the book, you will still be disappointed due to its extremely boring, and uneventful storyline. Bottom line: Don't even rent it on DVD.
