The Da Vinci Code- review

The Da Vinci Code

Amidst much controversy, protests and bans, the movie finally hits the box office.Movie lovers waited anxiously, listening irritatedly to the deliberations of the court, hoping they get to see the movie soon, after the movie the same cinemagoer finds himself stuck with one question, was it worth all of that??
After 40 million readers, the movie will find atleast 10 million viewers, but you won't go to the theatre for the movie, you will go there to see what Tom hanks might have to offer and what is the hulaboo all about.
The movie goes on at a reasonably fast speed, but there is a touch of lethargy .It does not give you the anticipatory thrills, as everyone expects from a thriller. The codes are broken, riddles deciphered, but with nothing more than a cursory glance on the words. The dialogues and the emotions seem constricted. Some trady direction brings you to a state of utter confusion at the middle of the movie, and if you have'nt read the book, god save you. MOst of the mystries are solved by the end, there is even an intresting conversation that shows the charm of hanks, but it's not enough to vindicate the movie makers.
See it if you're curious, about how one can actually spoil a book properly.
