It's the remainder of the film in which things begin to get really dreary- the excitement and pace is all missing.I can't say if Code begins with a bang, but it does end with a whimper.

I mean- all those flashback sequences, the long sepia-toned historical explanations- were they really so neccessary? The first one hour is fair enough, moving on pretty smoothly. This is a film that takes itself a bit too seriously. It's his scholarly, austere, even almost religious approach to the story that pulls it down. Howard turns Code- which is essentially a fast paced thriller- into profound, serious drama, utterly boring and ultimately pretentious. Now for the quirks- and believe me, they are many. However, the other actors- Alfred Molina, Jean Reno, Paul Bettany- are suitably competent in the limited scope that they get. The other actors' roles are understandably not too fleshed out- with maybe the sole exception of Ian Mckellen who gives a wicked performance as the witty and eccentric Sir Leigh Teabing. Audrey Tautou is perfectly cast as Sophie Neveu- she pitches in a good act, complimenting Hanks perfectly with her demure, yet dynamic presence. I can't think of an actor who could play Langdon better- his presence illuminates the film. Hanks has a purity, an almost childlike innocence that is so vital to Langdon's character. Whether it be Forrest Gump, the AIDS affected lawyer in Philadelphia, or Viktor Navorski in The Terminal- there is this warm, humane quality that Hanks brings to all his characters. Though the book likens Langdon's appearance to that of Harrison Ford, I somehow always pictured Tom Hanks in this role. The actors are wonderfully cast and play their parts rather well. Okay, the good bit first- the monuments and locations look absolutely gorgeous and magnificent on screen, the cinematography is glorious- quite dark and moody, the camera angles are awesome. But when it's an adaptation of a book as explosive as The Da Vinci Code, one expects nothing less than total blockbuster perfection. It is eminently watchable, and I admit it does have some good moments. The Da Vinci Code is certainly not a bad film. For they have actually managed to rob the thrilling novel of almost every bit of thrill, pace and punch it has. What they achieve, nevertheless, is nothing short of stupendous- it's an absolute movie-making miracle.

Sadly, director Ron Howard and screenwriter Akiva Goldsman don't quite manage to crack the code. It is, however- despite the flaws and certain inaccuracies- one helluva entertaining and riveting ride. Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code is surely no classic. Who cared? The excitement was at an all time high, there was controversy, the Da Vinci craze was in fever pitch mode, there were huge promotional events, posters were strewn all across the globe, the promos looked fantastic- what more could one ask for? Critics? Who cares about them, that sore bunch of losers? The problem here is, they aren't very wrong in their assessment of the film. Who cared? The excitement was at an all time high, there was controversy, the Da Vinci craze was in fever pitch mode, there were huge promotional events, Ron Howard's much hyped and rather unnecessarily over-marketed The Da Vinci Code had most critics carping after its Cannes premiere.

But at least its only 2 hrs plus long instead of four hours - which would be that long if the director had followed too closely to the book. The plot moves along at a pretty decent clip with the clever use of computer imaging to tell some parts, the acting can be better but I guess Tom Hanks was just being loyal to his character created by Brown which is card board like.

However, the movie seen on its own its not too bad given the difficulty of bringing some of Brown's theories into a visual form. Saying that, any conversion from book to film is always very difficult: those that loved the book will never be satisfied becuase they themsleves have already made their own movies in ther mind. The only reason why it is so popular is the usage of biblical figures and real places. Saying that, any conversion from book to film is always I personally didnt think much of the book: it is only a so-so thriller, the writing is poor, the plot absurd, and the characters cut-out cardboards.
