Pretty Poor - bordering on boredom

Rating: 3/10 (23 May 2006)

Sad to say, this film drags on quite a bit. Lots of codes, waffle, symbology, and more waffle explaining the puzzle - all blended and served on a spoon so you can just watch the screen without putting any of the pieces of the codes (and waffle) together yourself.
Romance is as dry as a bone and there is not a lot of any other kind of action either.. what else can I say? Ian McKellen performs quite well but Tom Hanks plays a drab character. I'm not going to start criticizing the actors - the script was lame so let's just leave the blame there and move on.
I suspect that Sony Pictures is focused on cashing in on anything they can market - fine, but I'd suggest they start looking at quality control quick smart. They are developing a reputation for smash and grab flicks that leave the audience short changed. The Da Vinci Code - is cracked.
