The Da Vinci Code Mystery Revealed!

TIME's movie critic Richard Corliss blogs live from the Cannes Film festival:

...Well, to resolve two mysteries at once (why the film was kept from critics and what my reaction is), it’s not very good — long (2hr.32min.) and mostly inert.

Howard and Goldsman have efficiently touched all the bases. But they haven’t found a way to replicate the book’s page-turning urgency. The games Brown plays — anagrams, the Fibonacci sequence, the art-history gamesmanship, the delving into Gnostic gospel lore, all the clues and miscues in his devious treasure hunt — are best savored by readers with a long night or a long flight ahead of them. They’re not intrinsically visual or movie-dramatic, however many car chases the Howard version cranks up.(more..)
