I want three hours of my life back!!!

Rating: 2/10 (20 May 2006)

OK, so I was forewarned. Almost every review I read said that this film was rubbish. And then I stupidly went and wasted £5 on a ticket and some snackage. It totally lived up to its reviews, but that's not a good thing.
Firstly, there were so many ridiculous flashbacks. WHAT WAS UP WITH THE FLASHBACKS?!?!? WHY SO MANY FLASHBACKS?!?!?! And (OK, were on to nit-picking territory here) they left bits out. Nothing particularly important, but it was annoying. Like her brother is dead. Erm, no - not in the book. He was really alive and was the guide at Roslin. Not in the film, though. Stupid film. And I'm sure that Sauniere really WAS Sophie's grandfather. Nope, just some guy who happened to be the Grand Master.
Now, this isn't exactly a general rule, but if they can't even get the name of the film right then I doubt it's going to be any good. The opening titles - which, by the way, seemed to be hideously drawn out - proclaimed 'The DaVinci Code'. Now, is it just me or is there usually a space in there? Hmm? Poor Leonardo, he must be rolling in his grave.
So, go see this if you want. But for your sake take some knitting or something. All those long speeches really DRAAAAAAAAAAG. And it really could have done without the last, oh, five minutes.
Does anyone have a time machine I could borrow please? I want those three hours back.
