I've just seen the Da Vinci Code.......

[osprey]

and have only 2 things to say about it (1) couldn't they afford any lights for the first hour or so (2) it is the biggest load of drivel I have seen for many years.

Did you read the book? Did you like that?

[ali_alic]

the book was a lot better. I just couldn't get my head around tom hanks as the lead!! And the girl was too young in the film.....

i have the dvd infront of me but i just can't bring myself to watch it!

[willa]

Oooo, McF, save yourself! It's a cinematic biohazard. Even the nice turn by Sir Ian isn't worth slogging through the muck. Back away from the DVD and treat yourself a nice horror flick.

Can't remember how much the first hour covered, but I would assume that anything shot in the Louvre had to be done with minimal lighting, so as to not harm the residents. As for the rest of the dim, I assume it's like eating at a dodgy restaurant: the lower the lighting, the less you can actually see what you're eating.

jungle books just started on film4, gonna watch that instead then start on the starwars marathon i've been promising myself, da vinci goes to the bottom of the pile!

I loved the book, but the film just reminded me of a live action version of Scooby Doo.

Bad...bad...bad.

And what was all this with Audrey Tatou stopping every five minutes to recap the flipping plot ("I don't underrrstanzzzz what your meanzzzz").
