Tom Hanks Voice Over

May 24, 2012 | Author admin

What did you think of the movie ‘Da Vinci Code’?

With Tom Hanks and Ian Mckellan playing lead roles, I had high expectations for this on screen adaption and yet I felt the movie was fairly boring, fragmented in parts and slow pace. Tom Hanks wasn’t convincing as Robert Langdon though he does look a lot like the Harvard Professor. Mckellan was brilliant as always, stealing every scene from the rest of the actors and although he didn’t have to do much, except participate in kinky rituals with a whip and look tormented and scary at the same time, the actor who portrayed Silas did an excellent job of it. Nice make up to. He should do a Bond film. They also took quite a few liberties with the original story story but I suspect that the appeal of the books comes from the narrative, which was laden with heavy symbology, something the movie couldn’t really do without burdening the plot with excessive dialogue and a bad voice over.

I thought it was a provocative adventure movie with strangely compelling, literate dialog. We don’t know who the good guys are until the end.

The plot line holds together because of the character of the heroine’s stepfather, killed in the first scene of the picture. As the story progresses, we come to understand his charcter better, especially through the similarities in thinking shared with the Tom Hanks character.

The escape in a Renault in heavy traffic driving in reverse, the Land Rover driving through the woods of an estate to get to a private airport, and the private jet landing and pulling into a hangar near London are the best of the action scenes.

The crisp, respectful dialog between the heroine and the Tom Hanks character are unheard of in such an action picture. I give it a B plus as something of a comingling of two books: “Holy Blood Holy Grail” and Thomas Gifford’s “The Assasini.” It’s really an adventure movie for college students and white collar adults.
