For a Ron Howard film, it’s mediocre. Aside from that it’s not a terrible film, it’s just not great. The premature backlash to the film is part political, part overhype let down. The film sticks mainly true to the book and many of the characters, from Teabing to Captain Fache to Bishop Aringarosa were well cast. Audrey Tautou is limp in this, Hanks’ hair is horrid, Silas’ blue contacts are obnoxious and the syrupy melodrama taking place in flashback scenes were too much. Those are my main complaints. Other than that, go see it.
