What was all the fuss about?

Rating: 3/10 (19 May 2006)

I have not reading the book and I thought that the film would live up to the hype around the book. I was completely wrong, it is a very dull film and is very muddled in places. It barely held my interest, the only reason it did was because there is very little else to do in a cinmea apart from watch the film. The story is stupid and I have not got a clue way there was a huge fuss about it and loads of television programmes have been made about it as it is ridiculous and only an idiot would believe it too be true. It is too long, miscast(the worst performances from Hanks I have ever seen) and poorly directed (especially the action). If you want to see a better film along the same lines watch any of the Indiana Jones films or even National Treasure starring Nichalos Cage, which is him after lost treasure but is just lot more entertaining. I have too say I nearly didn't go see it and now I wish I had saved my money and not gone.
