At least the book was good

Rating: 5/10 (11 June 2006)

I think liked this movie better when it was called "National Treasure".
The film moved along at a nice pace. I wasn't bored. I think my favorite part was the European tour of museums, chapels, and historical sites. The scope and feel of the movie played out on the big screen much as it did in my head when I read the novel. Audrey Tautou is lovely to look at although her character seemed much smarter in the book. Paul Bettany as Silas was disturbing and exciting. Tom Hanks pretty much nailed his part. I don't think the characters of Teabing and Fache could have been better cast, perfection there. The movie strayed from the book too much to explain the story as well as the written version. Please don't hesitate to read the book even if you've already seen the film. You will say "oh yeah!" to yourself severla times. Overall this movie was just like National Treasure.
