Wait for the DVD

Rating: 1/10 (23 November 2008)

This wasn't the worst film of the year, but it was certainly the most over-hyped. I wasn't familiar with the novels before hand, so I went into this with a completely unbiased mindset. The film was just not good, and since the books garnered such critical acclaim, I'm guessing this film is much worse than the books. The lines were poorly written, the acting was nothing to write home about, and the plot seemed incredibly cliché. Again I haven't read the books, so I could be wrong, but it seems like this was one story they should have left simply as a novel. Not every popular book should be turned into a film (See The Da Vinci Code).
