A Dull Experience, hugely Disappointing

Rating: 4/10 (22 May 2006)

I didn't read the novel on which this film is based on, but I was eagerly anticipating it's release. To Say I was disappointed is to say the least. Ultimately, you can dissect the film all you want.The fact of the matter is that it is a huge failure, Simply because it's a bore.
Director Ron Howard somehow manages to keep the film crawling at such a such a slow pace, that For the exception of a few scenes, There just isn't any excitement here at all. From the opening scenes I knew it. I can always tell from the first few minutes, and I was right on the mark with this one. It just plods along like a train going no where. Believe you me, where's there's smoke there's fire. The world wide critics aren't to far from the mark. I mean did they screen this thing ? Anyone who knows film in the least, would have told the filmmakers ( hey guys your film dosen't work ). Maybe some re editing would have done it some good . I doubt it. And to think, the subject matter is a filmmakers dream... What the hell happen ?????
Dan Brown must have watched this thing, and hoped another Director would have made this film. That's not to say, Howard isn't an accomplished filmmaker, because he certainly is, but he blew it big with this one. The most anticipated film in Years.
