And i loved the book!! - The Da Vinci Code Reviews

This story in case you do not already know is the 'fictional' story of how the Catholic church tries to cover up the fact that Jesus was married and conceived children that went on to become Kings of France. The story argues that his bloodline is still around to this very day. They argue that Opeis Dei,(a group within the Catholic church) is covering up the truth. I am not one to come on here and rip on a movie.....but unfortunately this movie was very poorly made. Ron Howard tried to incorporate the whole book into this movie. It was almost too scatter brained. The story moves so fast and still does not play out very well on the screen. Tom Hanks was not the right acxtor for this role!!! He was very wooden in this movie. He is come across as either too dramatic for the scene he is in or not dramatic enough. Even being the Hanks fan I am I would have to say it was his worst performance since Joe Versus The Volcano. The only reason I gave this movie a 'C' is because it does follow the book very well. Maybe it is just that this book should have been left in print and not converted to a movie. Sorry...not impressed.
