Not as good as it should have been

Rating: 5/10 (8 September 2009)

I'm sure everyone remembers the controversy that this film caused during it's release. By the hype this film was receiving, everyone was sure that they were going to experience something big. Truth is though, this film is nothing more than a flat, mundane piece of cinema. The problem is the lack of any real mystery in the film. You don't really get involved with the film or the characters and by the time the climax of the film comes along, I didn't really care.
Unlike the film National Treasure, which had similar flaws. This film takes itself too seriously and could have at least tried to be fun. I'd recommend reading the Dan Brown book, which is a good adventure novel. But the less said about this film, the better. It is watchable at best.
