The Da Vinci Code 3/5 (D)

When you're expecting something to be bad it often turns out not to be as bad as everyone was making out. Ron Howard's adaptation is far far too long (but the same can be said about most films these days) and feels like it could have been so much better. Ultimately it's a disappointment, highlighting the problems with the story rather than the sense of mystery but it's watchable never the less.
