Tom Hanks is mis-cast again in what was supposed to be a good sequel to 2006's The Da Vinci Code.
It's a shame to see an Academy Award-winning actor, a fantastic actor, possibly the greatest actor of our day next to Daniel Day-Lewis, and see this actor star in a simple money-maker.
And who knew Ron Howard would fall so far!!! He directs A Beautiful Mind and then Cinderella Man, which were both amazing and ground-breaking, and then sells out and does Dan Brown novel adaptions.
What's next? Is Martin Scorsese going to direct Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides???
is Ridley Scott going to direct Spiderman 4???
The movie was just another conspiracy movie with some real-life history thrown in. You have to wonder, though, what's historical and what's Dan Brown filling in the gaps...
I think a movie like this is pointless, and unnecessary.
I can't believe I just wrote a negative review about a movie that starred Tom Hanks and featured Ewan McGregor. My heroes!!!
Factoid: To recreate enormous plaza in the movie, the creators rented an enormous parking lot in Hollywood and turned it into the huge, round, life-size replica.
