The Da Vinci Code (2-Disc Special Edition)

Reviewed by:

Tom Hank's hair isn't the only thing wrong with this really long religious treasure hunt based on the ridiculously popular best selling book. For one, it's kinda boring. The revelations, while interesting at times, don't work that well on film and you can see them coming from miles away. To make matters worse, the second disc is loaded with so many lame promotional featurettes that it could have been an orgy between Ron Howard, Tom Hanks and the rest of the awe-struck cast. Then again, maybe Howard and Hanks should sit the orgy part out. They spend most of the time bragging about how they shot in the Louvre and spend every moment congratulating themselves for a job well done. Da Vinci would be so ashamed. (Jesus would be totally cool with it cause he comes across like a stud.)
