Davinci falls to impress

Rating: 1/10 (22 May 2006)

One of the most highly anticipated movies of the year proves to be one of the most disappointing. Tom Hanks looks all at sea, not really sure what he is meant to be doing.
Again Akiva Goldmans adaptation misses the mark by a long way. after the dire Batman and Robin and the equally bad A Beautiful Mind. It is surprising that he still finds work. he is responsible for changing the ending of the book (thuse missing the point of the piece) which is not the only bad point. gone is the audience participation, hands up if as you the book you tried to crack the codes and solve the puzzles. Everything goes along at a rate of knots, leaving the audience frustrated and mqny times unsure as to exactly what the hell is going on. The only redeeming feature in a wooden cast is Sir Ian Mcellen, who is easily the only reason to watch this film!!!!!
