da vinci disappointment

Well the movie was quite close to the book.

The acting was surprisingly one dimensional to me. Kinda felt bad for Ian Mckellen. Who was wonderful at LOTR, X-Men and so on but somehow appears like a 2nd grade villian here. Not too mention Tom Hanks cant seem to pull off a leading man role. Audrey Tautou seem totally lost with her English. I guess she doesnt realise she is speaking it without any emotions. Such a lost, since I really like her in Amelie. Well the only good exception was perhaps Jean Reno

I got to agree with Inky, when he said that the editing was a little patchy. There was a lack of a build up of suspense in most parts.

Ahh well, I would have say to give this a miss. Go read the book instead.
