THE DAVINCI CODE

6.5/10

I never believed others when they said that a Ron Howard movie with Tom Hanks was dull. But, for the first 1/2 of the movie at least, they were right.

I think Howard did about as well with the material as could be expected. But it just doesn't translate well to screen. And there were some bad editing choices made too.

A decent flick with a good second hour (and the climax here is better than in the book) but not recommended to anyone who hasn't read the book. Book fans only.
