A movie review in under 30 words

The Da Vinci Code

I thought it was staid and the pacing was slow. No chemistry between Tom Hanks and Audrey Tatou (and what was up with Tom's greasy mullet?). I was bored. 2/5.

We're with you on that one...I am never going to another movie adaptation of a book that I like. I am sick of being disappointed. Although, at least it was a freebie!

And yes... I wandered over from the book bitches!

Poptart, did you read and enjoy the book? I really enjoyed the book and was looking forward to the movie...but all I've heard about it is bad.

Speaka - yeah, I read the book years and years ago, when it first came out. I thought it was an interesting book, had some incredible whopping mistakes but overall a nice piece of imagination LOL. If you liked the book you'll probably like the movie - the friend I went with did LOL.

KC - book to movie adaptations rarely work (for me). Nothing will ever really capture what you've already imagined when you read the book, so I'm always disappointed.

Choux Pastry (LOL) - yeah, the book was v average and if you do go into the movie with low expectations, you might to be pleasantly surprised LOL.

Tart, I thought it was best they don't have chemisty. Think how it would seem if Tom Hanks was shagging Jesus's decendant?!

I mean, aren't they supposed to be that way in the book too?
