Hanks was out of place as Landon, our hero. They could have taken their time with the film, and it would have told the same story, and been a lot better. It suffered from the, what I call, Godfather syndrome: referencing things from the book at the wrong time. They were still referenced and used in the movie, but not explained well. Looking back on it, the first 30-45 minutes were very rushed, and I don't think things were adequately explained. Having just read the book, a lot of plot points were fresh in my mind, and that may have clouded the comprehension of certain things, which I think Howard and Goldsman were counting on. If we were going to pick name directors for this film, Steven Spielberg would have been better choice, but I think David Fincher (Se7en and Fight Club) would have been perfect. But Howard's awkwardness is more prominent. Some of the blame does go to his Cinderella Man scribe Akiva Goldsman for not writing a fitting script. Howard lacks the vision to properly adapt the novel and bring it to life. Well, how about the miscast of Howard as director. With a pedigree such as the most popular book in the world, two Academy Award winners (Hanks, Howard and writer Akiva Goldsman), French film superstars (Tautou and Reno) and Gandalf (Ian McKellen), you'd wonder how such a film could fail. Hot in pursuit of the thinking man's Bonnie and Clyde is Javert-ian French police captain Bezu Feche (Jean Reno), intent on pinning the murder of Suanier on Langdon and Neveu, and albino monk, Silas (Paul Bettany) under the command of a mysterious telephone voice known only as The Teacher. The riddles and subsequent quest allegedly lead to the true identity and whereabouts of the famed Holy Grail. American symbologist Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) and French cryptologist Sophie Neveu (Audrey Tautou) are on a trans-European quest to solve riddles left by Louvre curator, Langdon's hero and Neveu's grandfather, Jacques Saunier, as he lay dying. Amid protests, pending lawsuits, and outright denouncements by Catholic officials, Ron Howard released his adaptation of Dan Brown's novel, The Da Vinci Code. Though the film was hotly debated, its cinematic quality and popularity aren't nearly as high as one would expect.

If you take the most popular book in recent years, you should have the most popular movie since The Lord of the Rings, right? Wrong. In their search, Sophie and Robert happen upon evidence that could lead to the final resting place of the Holy Grail, while members of the priory and an underground Catholic society known as Opus Dei give chase, determined to prevent them from sharing their greatest secrets with the world. As Sophie and Robert dig deeper into the case, they discover the victim's involvement in the Priory of Sion, a secret society whose members have been privy to forbidden knowledge dating back to the birth of Christianity. Needing help, Sophie calls on Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks), a leading symbologist from the United States. Hoping to learn the significance of the symbols, police bring in Sophie Neveu (Audrey Tautou), a gifted cryptographer who is also the victim's granddaughter. The stately silence of Paris' Louvre museum is broken when one of the gallery's leading curators is found dead on the grounds, with strange symbols carved into his body and left around the spot where he died. Dan Brown's controversial best-selling novel about a powerful secret that's been kept under wraps for thousands of years comes to the screen in this suspense thriller from Director Ron Howard.
