So maybe for the first time in my life I excitedly awaited the movie adaptation of The daVinci Code, having read the book and loving it.
I bough the movie poster, I read up online of how it was made, the works... but sadly I got exactly what I maybe everyone had asked for, a page for page recreation of the novel that was so page turning to read but as you said, drawn out way too long on screen.
Howard got criticized for not changing things, yet he would've gotten just as lambasted if he did, poor thing...
Hanks proved too old and stuffy for the role of the intelligent explorer, he needed just a little more edge, think Nicolas Cage in National Treasure, which came out before The daVinci code movie, and pretty much as the same idea but in America, yet was able to transfer the suspense and mystery so much better.
I agree with your 2 :)
