The Da Vinci Choad

Oh dear.
I quite liked the book; despite the fact that it’s an appallingly written load of fatuous old nonsense, it’s actually quite entertaining.
The film seems to have taken all the interesting bits of the book, discarded them, and made a film that is both truly execrable and mind-numbingly implausible.
With the notable exception of Paul Bettany, the acting is dreadful. Even Sir Ian McKellan underperformed. It’s as though they knew how awful the film was going to be and got demoralised.
And the production team somehow managed to spell Audrey Tautou’s name wrong in the credits.
