Dear God, that was awful.

Rating: 1/10 (4 June 2006)

I have never read the book, or heard any of the idea behind the Da Vinci Code. As a result of the hype surrounding this film, I thought I'd jump onto the Da Vinci bandwagon with everyone else. And that was one of the most disappointing films of all time. Almost as bad as King Kong (remake). A big lead-up to a DULL ending.
Tom Hank's performance is poor. Possibly the worst I've ever seen him. With performances like his in Forrest Gump and Saving Private Ryan, it doesn't even seem like the same actor.
Audrey Tatou. A fantastic (and stunning) actress. She's reasonable in this film, but has potential to be so much better. For her first MAJOR English-speaking role, it's just disappointing.
The highlight of the film for me was Paul Bettany's AMAZING performance as SILAS. Saved the film really, but it was too little, too late.
Save yourself from this film, unless you're a Paul Bettany or Audrey Tatou fan. And if you've read the book steer well clear, it'll ruin it for you.
I don't even want to read the book now...
