The Da Vinci Code (Speedlog score 65)

I never read the book. The movie tempo worked pretty well for me although I had a good idea what to expect long before the end. Hanks was not up to his usual calibre performance although better than the critics are giving him credit for. One test of a movie for me is my perception of it's length. I was drawn in enough not to feel 2.5 hours was too long. I hope the summer has more and better in store for us but this was a solid film worth seeing. Howard has never let me down completely before.
